The standard process entails one interview lasting 60 minutes, where the first half is dedicated to motivational questions and the second half to a case study. The interview was held with an analyst and an economist from different offices, the motivational part revolved more around them asking whether you understand what they actually do and why you want to work there. The case study was simple, in the sense that they did not go into detail with the description and don't expect you to go in detail with the answers, and questions were mostly focused on the econometrics of damages estimation, or practical questions such as where would you be getting your data from.
I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Compass Lexecon (Madrid) in Jan 2025
