I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Independent Project Analysis in Feb 2022
Interview
Pros: Quick process, in-depth interviews, transparency in early stages, questions were job relevant, opportunity to share existing research in presentation format
Cons: No response after final interview, large time investment for last round interviews
Details: Within a week of applying, I had a 30-minute phone interview with a recruiter, who provided a lot a transparency prior to my second interview.
Within a few days of the initial call, I was connected via a video call with one of the Senior Analysts to discuss the role and my experience further.
Less than two weeks after my phone interview, I had my "full-day" interview, during which I met with about a dozen new employees across the organization for four or five interviews (i.e., two interviewers in most) and a presentation of my design (i.e., 10-15 minutes with time for questions). Most of the interviewers were friendly and shared a fair amount about their experiences and the company. The questions were largely structured and behavioral, with a few more "creative" ones thrown in.
I followed up with thank you messages via email after my final interview and only heard back from the Administrator who coordinated all the sessions. I followed up a week or two later and got radio silence. I tried again about six-to-eight weeks out (i.e., my anticipated start date was three months from my interview, so I was told the process may be slower though my feedback meeting occurred the day after my final interview). I never received a response and assumed I wouldn't after so long.
After going through all the work, I understand if I am not the right fit. However, it would be nice to let candidates know what was decided, especially if they have committed time to preparing a presentation and cleared their calendar for a day.

Interview
It was comfortable, respectful and friendly. Answered the questions to the best of my ability and they seemed to appreciate it. There were no surprising questions and just seemed to want to know that I was able to work in a team environment
