      Research Analyst Interview

      May 15, 2013
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Burlingame, CA
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through college or university. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Acumen (Burlingame, CA) in Jan 2013

      Interview

      Initially, I sent in a resume and cover letter and was contacted three weeks later with a "writing test"-- they went me some Medicare data and had me answer a few questions about it (this was actually very time consuming). After I sent this in, about a week later I was contacted for a phone interview. I interviewed with someone who had a PhD in Epidemiology; he was very friendly and the interview was pretty standard, asked about my interests and experience (definitely prepare to answer in-depth questions about your research experience including technical details, I wasn't that prepared for this). A few days later they emailed me and set up an in-person interview. The in-person interview was a 4-hour process including an IQ/basic statistics test (1 hour), and 4 one-on-one interviews with different analysts. The in-person interview questions were pretty standard and a little repetitive. I was a little nervous but thought the interview went well overall; but I was emailed about a week later and was not offered a position. The office in Burlingame was a bit unprofessional, but I actually appreciated this because the environment is casual but they get a lot of good work done.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      The phone interview went into detail about my technical research experience. In the in-person interview, be prepared to answer questions about the writing/data exercise you did for them.

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Acumen

      Interview

      Worst recruiting of any company I've ever worked with. Completely unresponsive to emails, even after showing initial interest. Forced me to wait more than a month without any indication of my candidacy. No wonder your talent is so mediocre--who in their right mind would be willing to work for you?
