Negotiation Details – Negotiate heavily for vacation days. The gates to earn more time off are very far apart.

Interview Details – I had a phone interview with a recruiter and then four interviews in the office. It was eerily quiet, and it seemed as though I had an odd mix of interviewers. That said, everyone was very kind and no one asked any curveball questions. I was able to have more of a conversation with each of the interviewers, which put me at ease.

Interview Details – I had an initial phone screening and was then brought into an interview. The interview was fairly easy and consisted of me talking with various researchers about the types of projects they work on. The hiring manager was very transparent about how many people they are interviewing and when I should hear.

Interview Details – Very strictly by-the-book. Everything totally honest and legal. Applicant is interviewed by two or three small groups, because the work is contract-based and exact responsibilities vary from year to year.

Negotiation Details – A little pressure to start quickly. Hiring is often *after* the deadlines are approaching.

Interview Details – First screening interview was by phone with HR. Next step was in-office interview with hiring manager. Lasted several hours, very positive experience. Only interviewed with that person, but was introduced to team members and given walk-through of work area. Received call from HR person a few days later with a verbal, then written offer. It was actually a very laid back interview process.

Negotiation Details – A couple of back-and-forth emails gained me an additional 2K/year.

Interview Details – Applied online through their Careers portal. Got an email response about a week later to set up a phone screen. The phone screen wasn't anything difficult - recruiter basically asked why are you interested in the job and explained the background behind the company. Got an email a few days later to set up an in-person interview at their Waltham office. This interview was with two people: one in-person and one via video chat. There were two parts: go over your entire resume and then answer 5-8 behavioral questions. Was told there would be a second round of interviews and that I'd hear back within a few days. A little more than a week later, I got a call saying they decided to go with someone else with a bit more experience.

Overall, very friendly and honest throughout the entire process. Seems like a good company.

Interview Details – This is for intern interview. They only ask for some basic personal information and then wait for result. While the environment there is perfect.

Interview Details – Phone interview followed by a series of very positive in-person interviews. I was very well qualified for the position. After interviews with IDG team leads senior people and a subsequent meeting with the director, all of which went well, I was then kept waiting for more than four weeks before I gave up hope. Repeated (though reasonable) attempts to contact HR or the hiring manager for an update were either met with silence or an explanation that the decisionmakers were traveling and had not made a decision. Never heard anything concrete, and I've since gone elsewhere. I was extremely put off by how the whole thing was handled, and have advised others in my current firm to avoid RTI.

Interview Details – The initial information source for the company and position was through a third party recruiter. The actual interview was a professional and quick interview.

Negotiation Details – The offer was good. However, I could have asked for more.
