I interviewed at Michigan Manufacturing Technology Center (New York, NY)
Interview
The process itself was smooth, but the interviewers didn't know what the person in the position actually did so they were not able to convey job duties accurately. Was a bit misleading.
I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Michigan Manufacturing Technology Center (Plymouth, MI) in Mar 2015
Interview
1) Screening interview with HR by phone
2) In-person interview with Research Services Director and Manager
3) Work sample test - following the panel interview we set up a time for me to do the work sample test. I was able to do it at home - they sent the task to me via e-mail and I had 2 hours to complete the work and send it back. There were 2 or three different questions, all of them related to secondary research. There was a little bit of math - algebra - for forecasting market data. One of the other tasks was to seek out adjacent markets for a specified company product.
