The process took 1 day. I interviewed at BRG (Emeryville, CA) in Oct 2010
Interview
There were five people that interviewed me. Two of the interviews were sets of technical questions about my knowledge of statistics, economics and finance. One was a case study. The other two were behavioral/personality tests. The case wasn't too difficult, and neither were the technical questions. Because the questions aren't themselves too challenging, a lot of depth and a show of one's understanding is needed to set oneself apart from the rest of the crowd.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
How would you explain a regression to a jury in a courtroom?
First round interview (on Zoom) is all behavioral apart from a small case study. Superday (in person) consists of 4 interviews, 3 are behavioral and one is a case study.
Straightforward, personal, behavioral questions, walk me through your resume and explain your past experiences and internships and what led you to this position, what your weaknesses are and strengths, leadership roles
It was a two staged process - both covered aspects of hr, my research interniships and hobbies. The interviewers were very supportive. It was a wonderful experience. They responded very quickly at each stage regarding the results and shortlisted candidates.
