I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Fors Marsh
Interview
I started with a 20-30 minute phone call with a recruiter to get a sense of my skills and interests to figure out the best fit position. From there I met with two senior researchers in-person for a 1 hr interview. The interviewers were very nice and professional. The interview itself was VERY structured - an hour straight of situational interview questions ("Tell me about a time when..."), with not a lot of follow-up questions. I then had to take a skills test (basic data analysis, data communication, quality checking), and did another 30-minute phone interview with another senior researcher (also situational interview questions, some being the same from my in-person interview) before hearing back about an offer.

Interview
I was first emailed by someone at HR to schedule an interview. Then I had a 30-minute interview session with someone at HR. I was supposed to then be contacted by the hiring manager to let me know if I would be moving forward in the next series of interviews. After reaching out several times, I never heard back from HR or the hiring manager.
