Interview
Typical economics ASSA interview process. Initial interview was about 45 minutes and held on zoom in early January. The first interview focused on my JMP, although there was plenty of time for me to ask my two interviewers questions about the position. I was invited to a flyout the day following the initial interview. The flyout was fairly typical; spend most of the day doing meetings of 30 mins to an hour with a variety of economists from my prospective division and I gave a 75 minute seminar on my JMP.

Interview
Phone interview with HR, then a primary phone interview with a program manage, and lastly a full day interviews with seminar talk, analytical review, and one-on-one interviews in the afternoon.
Whole day, many interview panels but everyone was super friendly and there was not a lot of tough questions asked. They will ask about your research. They are concerned with quantitative experience.
We are glad you had a positive experience. We appreciate you sharing your feedback and look to improving and streamlining our processes for a better candidate experience.

Interview
The first interview was a 30-minute phone call with the recruiter. The second round included a one-day onsite visit to Arlington, VA. It was a busy day, including seven interviews with division and program leaders and a 40-minute presentation, followed by a social with more of the team members at a restaurant/bar down the street. I expected the day to be very draining, but the team members were all super welcoming and encouraging. It felt like a very supportive environment and though I didn't know much about the company before the visit, I fell in love with the culture and people during the day-long visit.
