I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at EAB (Washington, DC) in Jul 2016
Interview
I had my resume submitted through the referral portal and was contacted immediately. I set up a screen interview with an HR person and she was very personable and put me at ease. The normal questions: How did you hear about the company? Why are you interested in the job? Can you tell me a little bit about your experience with research? Do you have any questions for me? Gut check on salary question, etc. Then about a week later HR scheduled a 90 minute writing exercise and two case interviews. The 90-minute exercise was a case about a higher education institution facing a financial crisis and the need to attract out-of-state tuition and to write a memo advising the university's administration on what to consider. The two case interviews each lasted about an hour, asking about university operations, however the first one was somewhat bizarre and veered from the topic of education. I am not sure if the interviewer didn't like me and was trying to throw me off, or if it was meant to see how you respond to uncertainty in a client-facing environment. I knew leaving the building that I would not get hired. A week later I got a format email from HR saying they were not going to pursue me as a candidate.
Reasonable process, I felt as though as steps were appropriate and effectively measured my qualifications. Some interviews were back to back which was a bit exhausting, but overall a good experience.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell us about a project that did not go as planned. How did you respond to any failures and what did you take away for future projects?
Interviewer did not call at our scheduled time. No email or follow up on why. It seems that they had filled the position but failed to cancel our interview slot.

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at EAB
Interview
The initial interview was easy, however I was told I would be contacted in a week on my application. Instead of reaching out to say that I was denied I have been completely ghosted by the company. I interviewed about three weeks ago I understand that they may have decided to not move forward with my application but to simply leave me hanging is just unprofessional.
