I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Samagra Development Associates
Interview
I didn't get the job as I didn't perform well during the interview - and thank god for that.
The interviewer showed up 15 minutes late to the interview with no apology. He seemed to have trouble understanding my former work experience, classifying it as "research" when it was anything but. He was also a bit condescending and said something along the lines of "Oh, so you've never worked on anything that has had an impact before?", which was an odd thing to say.
The interview itself was a case study involving some quantitative work. I didn't perform well in it. I left the interview with a weird feeling, and not just because of my poor performance in the interview.
I didn't get an offer, and when I saw the negative company reviews on glassdoor, I'm glad I didn't, as I probably would have taken the job if I was offered it.
