Analyst at MSI
Accepted Offer – Interviewed in May 2010 – Reviewed Oct 12, 2011
Interview Details – I was told that I will have a phone screen. During this interview I was asked all regular interview questions about my education and work background. After that I took an IQ test and had a panel interview as well as 2 one-on-one interviews with VPs and Senior Analysts.
Interview Questions
- What are your strengths/ weaknesses? Answer Question
- What research related work did you do for your previous project? Answer Question
Negotiation Details – I wouldn't know what to say regarding negotiation because although I was offered an internship, they never got back to me. They told me that they would get back to me when they had a business need. This was a little disappointing to hear after I had been told by the Senior Analysts that they actually needed someone to jump on board and help them immediately. I guess they wanted to stop recruiting because the economic state was even worse than before.
