I applied through university. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Hanover Research (Ballston, VA)
Interview
I applied to Hanover in February - the process took two and a half months.
I think there's usually a phone interview, but I was referred so I didn't get that. The first task was a 3 page writing assignment. I had to make a profile of a company and use graphs and tables to display data. It didn't take too long and I had a week to do it.
Next I was invited to go to their Ballston office to interview. I met 3 people -- one associate and two managers. Each interview was basically the same, partially behavioral and partially going into detail about my experiences and why I wanted the job.
The process took a while, though they were interviewing a lot of people, so that's natural. It was about 2 weeks after the interviews that I got the offer.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The only difficult part was the writing assignment, the interviews were pretty standard.
Met them through campus recruiting, very friendly and helpful. Submitted my resume and writing sample through online portal. Heard back in 2-3 weeks for additional documents and finally called in for an interview. Simple behavioral questions, nothing too technical. Overall seemed like a fun and engaging place to work in!
