Cambridge, MAPosted Jun 2016 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

After I applied online, I didn’t hear anything right away, but within a couple of weeks I was contacted for a phone screen.

That call was pretty straightforward: they asked about my interests and how they matched the research analyst role, and they also requested an expected salary range. There weren’t any real behavioral questions in that first conversation—just a check that I was aligned and a bit of basic matching.

A couple weeks after that, the PI reached out for a more direct 1:1 conversation about the position. I also remember the tone being fairly calm and manageable; it felt like they were already at least somewhat interested, and the main work for me was being able to talk clearly about relevant projects
