I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Magellan Research Group (New York, NY) in Oct 2024
Interview
Grossly unprofessional HR. The process took over a month, with over three cancellations due to inadequate communication. The timeline of the role changed three times over the month and HR responded over a week after asking for availability. Finally scheduled a case study which HR said was on a Tuesday but the Zoom link stated Thursday. This process does not inspire confidence in candidates.
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Magellan Research Group (New York, NY) in Jul 2022
Interview
I applied through Handshake.
There was an initial phone screen interview for 15 minutes which they rescheduled once due to their scheduling conflicts. Interview itself went well.
Next round was in person interview with Managing Director Casey Smith
They rescheduled once with this meeting as well.
Once I had arrived for the interview finally, they told me the MD was not in that day and a team leader took my interview. The interview itself went well, it was questions plus a case study section which you needed to bring your laptop for. The interviewer expressed he was impressed with my performance. He told me they would let me know of the decision in a week or so.
They did not get back to me for two weeks and I had to keep following up.
Eventually they rejected me saying they want to go for someone "who has a strong focus on expert network industry". They did not respond with any feedback when I asked.
This whole process took almost 2 months.
This place seems like a total scam. I would say stay away.
