Research Analyst at The Brattle Group
No Offer – Interviewed in San Francisco, CA Nov 2009 – Reviewed Apr 8, 2010
Interview Details –
First round interview was on campus, just basic fit stuff and why you picked your major. In the office, it was an all day affair with an analyst, followed by a case given by an associate, followed by an interview with a principal, then another associate, then lunch with 2 analysts, then another principal, then the office manager.
The case had a few parts. The first was something about dividing up revenues and it was a basic optimization problem (like a calculus word problem). Then I was shown a regression output and asked to interpret it. Then I was shown a table and asked to look for anything that would make me follow up.
Everyone was very nice and seemed in good spirits. I was not offered a position, and I think it was likely because I wasn't very ready for that type of case. Make sure to have lots of questions ready. Also, I was asked about programming/econometric experience.

Interview Details – Research Analyst was really nice. They asked me who else I'm interviewing with, why Brattle, how I've used Econometrics before.

Interview Details – A rep emailed me saying that she'd like to phone me to talk about my resume and asked for a convenient date and time. Got a phone call, which was scheduled a few days in advance via email. They asked if I had pending job offers, which location I preferred and then some typical behavioral questions.

Interview Details –
First round phone interviews about general questions, such as why school, why firm, why econ consulting, team work experience, past internships, which internship do you like the best, etc. Pretty standard. Got an email invitation from them to go to the office for a day of interviews. On site interview includes 4 one to one interviews with people from all levels, 1 case exercise, and a lunch break with two junior people from the firm. Still pretty standard questions about experiences and background: what motivates you, what's your long term plan, walk through past econometrics projects/papers in detail, team work, etc. The case is very different from the standard consulting interview case - given a scenario, a few questions with very simple calculations and ask for some suggestions. No specific knowledge required. To me, it's quite straight and simple. The firm even makes simple calculation mistakes in their answer key...so took me a while to convince the interviewer that his answer was wrong.
Wasn't offer the position eventually because they say the need is not strong in a foreseeable period. Then just dont know why they are still posting advertisement, interview, and get people into office for interviews...spend all these time and energy and say the need is not strong to give you a finite answer? Quite weird tho...but again guess it's another way of saying no as a decision.
People are nice and talkative though. Good office atmosphere.
