      No offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      I applied online. The process took 8 weeks. I interviewed at J-PAL (New Delhi) in May 2023

      Understanding of Monitoring and evaluation was primarily focussed upon along with Randomized Controlled Trials. Questions about Resume and educational background were also the focus of the interview. Not that difficult

      16 Jan 2019
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Declined offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at J-PAL

      Interview

      I applied online. They took very long to respond. I was invited for a telephonic interview two months after I applied, and then it took a another two weeks for them to get back to me for a second interview, and then two more weeks for a final interview -- all over the phone. Questions were asked on RCTs, surveying etc. The interviewers were all friendly, helpful and wanted me to get the answer right. Much of it was like a conversation. I was told that I'd have to work for 6 days in a week, 9 hours (or longer) a day -- which I found ironical for an organization that conducts experiments on poverty and behavioural economics; they ought to have known just how much this affects employee performance and productivity.
