I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at AbelsonTaylor (Chicago, IL) in Jul 2010
Interview
Was connecting to the HR woman through a friend. I submitted a cover letter and resume, and was brought in for an interview. I spoke with HR for about 30 minutes about the role, and then she sat me down with about 6 other CRAs, and we chatted. It was pretty casual.
One unpleasant aspect of the experience was that I did everything right, including a thank you email right after the interview, and I waited patiently to hear back for almost 2 weeks. I emailed another follow-up email, and was told the position had been filled long ago. I can only assume that, had I not reached out, I never would have been informed. While that's something okay for initial interviews, I think that's an inappropriate way to treat a final-round/in-office candidate.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at AbelsonTaylor in Mar 2022
Interview
The interview was fairly easy. I had 3 rounds: 1 with HR, 1 with my supervisor, and 1 with a copywriter. There were almost no crazy questions or work to do, just more of vibing together. As someone to ended up taking the job, I come back with updates. I was mislead. I was told that I could work East Coast hours.... I found out this was not true when I read the handbook. Similarly, I was told that overtime was minimal and rare, but I had ended up having to do roughly 50-70 (sometimes 80) hour work weeks. If you need the money, take this job, but do not stop applying.

Interview
There are two separate interviews- one with the hiring manager (Helen Trbovic) and the second a group interview with the present Clinical Research Associates. The Clinical Research Associate group also review your resume, and Helen Trbovic gives the CRAs' opinion strong consideration. Although the group interview can seem intimidating at first, all CRAs went through the same process and everyone is generally pretty friendly.
