Application process was quite straight forward and the portal had a good visualisation of the process. Got rejected after their Situational Strengths test, so I guess I was not really a good fit.

Lots of interviews and tasks that take a huge amount of time to complete. Not worth the effort, I would suggests looking elsewhere for a social media role that would be better suited.

Interviewer was nice and professional. Although I was not able to get the job as my experience did not match what the hiring manager was looking for, they did tell me to be on the lookout for junior-level positions which are coming in the near future.

Interview

Had an interview with a few basic data science questions and had to give a presentation on a topic of my choosing. No communication for 3 weeks, then I received an offer that seemed like a joke. I have experience and an advanced degree, but they still wanted to offer me less than a reasonable amount. They were not even willing to give what was advertised for the job. Not only that, but they don't provide any health insurance, EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE AN INSURANCE COMPANY. The incredible greed from the hiring manager shows they do not value you as an actual human being. Based on this experience alone, I would advise steering clear of this company. I would only accept their offer if I were extremely desperate, which, thankfully, I wasn't. There was zero willingness to negotiate. Some of the people in the team that interviewed me also didn't seem very advanced in data science/ML, despite their many years of experience. This just illustrates how AVIVA is likely lagging significantly in keeping up with current technology, which is consistent with their willingness to offer pennies.

Do you experience that how long the hiring process would take at Thermo Fisher? I got my second interview with hiring manager at the beginning of November but I haven’t heard nothing from them. When I’ve emailed them to check in they just said that the process would be slow, no time frame. I would be able to get an offer soon from other company but work as contractor. Should I wait for Thermo Fisher?

Booz Allen Hamilton Recently applied and I've been referred for an interview! Any tips on interviewing with Booz Allen? And if I am being asked to complete clearance and background upfront, is this a good indicator for being hired?

Applied for a job a few weeks back, got a call from HR yesterday morning about an interview next week. She mentioned she'd shoot me an email with all the interview details, but so far, my inbox is empty. Assuming I'll hear from her early next week, is it normal for them to expect me to show up for an in-person interview on short notice, like couple days?
