      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at MDRC (New York, NY) in May 2018

      Interview

      About a month or two after applying, I scheduled a brief screener phone call. They mostly just asked basic questions about my technical experience. Nothing too complex. About a month later, I received an invitation to interview with them in New York (I was reimbursed for my travel expenses). The in person interview was comprised of four sessions. One was a Q and A with a current RA . One was a Q and A/ informational talk with an HR rep where they talked a little about the company culture. And then two sessions were meetings with analysts/associates who I would potentially be working with. However, these meetings were fairly informal and conversational. I walked them through my coding sample and answered a couple of standard behavioral questions. And then I completed some activities that tested for attention to detail. For example, they gave me sample data and asked me to talk through how it was organized and mention any problems I saw in it. I got a phone call from them a few days after interviewing asking for my references. Then, I waited two more weeks until they offered me a position.

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at MDRC in Jun 2023

      Interview

      Preliminary screening consisted of two Zoom interviews: 1) a 45-minute HR interview + "table test" (looking at a pdf table and circling mistakes) and, after a break, 2) a 45-minute "data assessment" (finding mistakes or "odd" things about a few summary statistics). I never heard back. This was around June 2023.

      Question 1

      When talking about a past project I did: how exactly did you clean/merge data?

      Interview

      They ask you to check some tables to make sure statistics match and that there are no basic arithmetic errors. They also ask you to talk about coding and research experience. Experience with SAS is especially useful.
