      Researcher Interview

      Jun 24, 2026
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at GiveWell in May 2026

      Interview

      Everything went very quickly. First I did a shorter timed test checking my understanding of a research article, then I had two weeks to complete a more complicated test requiring analysis of my own. The second test was compensated. I was rejected a week after submitting the second test.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Would you recommend this intervention in another context? Why/why not?

      Neutral experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at GiveWell in Apr 2026

      Interview

      Was given two work tasks: a 45 min and then a 5 hour one. Very open ended tasks with no real guidance on what's in the evaluation criteria. Despite reading their work and blogposts, I did not get past the second work task. Overall it felt like the only ppl who would get in are the 'insiders' who know the lingo, the style of working, and the ideologies they subscribe to.

      I applied online. I interviewed at GiveWell

      Interview

      The GiveWell interview included a short, timed written research exercise designed to evaluate my ability to interpret statistical results, reason carefully and clearly under time constraints, assess evidence quality, and apply empirical findings to real-world policy and funding decisions.

      Question 1

      You are given results from a randomized controlled trial or observational study evaluating an intervention. How would you interpret the estimates?
