      Associate Economist Interview

      16 Jan 2017
      Anonymous interview candidate
      London, England
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Optimity (London, England) in Jul 2016

      Interview

      I applied online sending a CV, Cover Letter and 1 page answer to a topic of their interest. About a week after that I was informed I was invited to an Assessment Centre at their offices in London, UK. I had 2 days to choose from. We were 9 candidates at the Assessment Centre. I had 6 assessments back to back: - Presentation of a past project/dissertation - Data Interpretation test (20 or 30', really easy) - Group Task (4 or 5 candidates in a team) - Formali 1:1 interview (going through the CV, 1-2 competency questions and why you wanna join this firm) - Case Study (management consulting type case) - Economics case study (an easy Cost - Benefit Analysis case) I was shortlisted but didn't manage to secure an offer; really positive experience though.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      why you wanna join this firm; tell us a time when you had to work in teams; how would you go about explaining findings of your research to a non-technical audience.
