I applied online. I interviewed at Edgeworth Economics in Apr 2019
Interview
An HR and a consultant interviewed me. It is the first round interview and lasts for 30 mins. HR asked typical behaviorial questions like "why edgeworth" "what's your understanding of edgeworth" "what part of your current work you like the most and the least". The consultant's questions are more technical. She asked "explain regression to a lawyer" "how do you handle missing values in a dataset" "what are the challenges when doing data analysis". I didn't expect the consultant would join the first round interview (thought there was only the HR) so I was not fully prepared for some of the technical questions. Feels sad.
