I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Acumen (Burlingame, CA)
Interview
The first portion involves a writing test. You have to provide an analysis based on a dataset that they provide for you. Once that has been submitted and reviewed, you will have a phone interview with a recruiter. They will discuss the position and the company in broad strokes while trying to find out your communications skills.
If successful, you'll have a phone interview with other Policy Analysts at Acumen where they will go more in depth on your ability to conduct analysis and find out more about statistical background.

Question 1
Can you go into more detail about a statistical analysis you did?
Phone Screen Interview
The first round was a phone screening conducted by a recruiter. This conversation focused on my background, relevant experience, and understanding of the role. In-Person Interview
The second round was an in-person interview with the hiring manager and potentially a team member. This round went deeper into my technical expertise and practical experience. I was asked to walk through specific projects, explain my decision-making process, and demonstrate how I approach real-world challenges.
