      Research Associate Interview

      22 Aug 2022
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at GiveWell in Apr 2022

      Interview

      Submitted application with the little assessment included. HR person reached out for a call to answer my questions. I was invited to do a short paid evaluation, 1-10 hours I believe. Then a second assessment, 10-20 hours. HR person was super friendly! Position sounded well paid and good benefits. Paid evaluation component was cool. However, it would be good to have received feedback on exercise. I assume they use some sort of uniform rubric to grade these for objectivity? Why not share that? Top researchers do not seem very accomplished but are from top ranked schools and org has very 'unique' methodological and writing approaches. However, I wonder how much other components of application bias the assessment and how much of objective evaluation of assessment is actually used...

      Interview

      -complete a task, asked questions based on completion of task, in all honesty, a lot of questions were not related to the task--many were behavioral interview questions, the interviewer didnt have much knowledge on the task so couldnt answer questions

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I interviewed at GiveWell in Mar 2024

      Interview

      Several paid online work tests. The last one I was given was to evaluate the strength of evidence from a research paper about the Paleo diet. I wasn't moved on to the next stage, which would have included an interview.
