I applied online. I interviewed at Wonder Research
Interview
Applied. Had to answer a few basic questions. Had to do some critical thinking questions. Then had to do a realistic research assignment. I have a heavy background in research and writing (law school), but apparently that quality still wasn't good enough for them. They also responded within 20 minutes at about 2AM, so I doubt a person even looked at the actual research answer I submitted.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I'm moving to a new area. Research the best places around X to buy a house in and provide reasoning why including factors such as quality of life.
The online application had different stages that were automated on Typeform. After getting through to the final stage of doing a research project, it said it should take about 1 hour. I spent about 6 hours on this to make sure it was good and I would pass essentially doing a free job for them with having to site sources and have everything in their exact format. I shortly after received a short, general reject email that you would normally only send to someone at initial sending their resume stage, but they had no human involved in this as it was all automated on Typeform - no explanation, no feedback on the project and no acknowledgement of the long application and project I completed. What a joke and waste of time.

Question 1
a lot of writing, multiple choice questions, word and reasoning questions, grammar, and the long research project. as mentioned, no human ever looked at my application until maybe after I finished the research project , if even then.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Wonder Research (Los Angeles, CA) in Sept 2018
Interview
The entire process comprises of a 3-stage process. However, what really makes it complicated is the fact that the final reviewer is just an analyst who may decided either to reject or accept the onboarding application making the entire process lack merit.
