      Workforce Research Scientist Interview

      Aug 27, 2021
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Atlanta, GA
      Declined offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Southern Company (Atlanta, GA) in Aug 2021

      Interview

      The interview itself was fine - a panel interview that required you to prepare an analysis and present to the group followed by five scripted questions. Everyone was very nice during the interview, however I never heard from the recruiter either before or after the interview, even when she said she would send me an email. Then about a week after the interview the hiring manager reached out via email and called my cell phone (left a voicemail) with a seemingly rushed sense of urgency to ask for a copy of my presentation without any reasoning. I sent him a redacted version since it contained data from another company. The next day he then reached out again via email and also sent a text to my cell asking for more time for follow-up questions. Still wasn't sure if this was pertaining to the interview because the requests seemed rushed and without any reasoning. I declined as I had already accepted an offer from another company (at this point the process has gone on for about two months), but the steps after the actual interview seemed rushed and honestly a little invasive. Would not recommend.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      What is one thing you've done to sharpen up your data skills? What would you do if you received feedback that requested extensive changes to your presentation? Tell me about a time when you used predictive analytics to influence business outcomes.
