I applied for Research Associate- Qualitative research but I got an email saying that Research Analyst-survey design would be a better fit based on my background. I had filled out an application online. I was emailed to set up a phone interview, then after I got the mock case study to do. Two days later I got an email that they moved forward with another candidate. Overall, the recruiter was nice; informative; straightforward with the salary range; job description, etc. I would apply again if I see a position that interests me. Positive experience although it was a bummer I did not progress further in the interview process. The next step would be an in-person or Skype interview with someone I think in management.

Fairly straightforward if you have a friend who refers you. It depends on the hiring manager how hard they're going to be on you. Then you do a project which takes more time than it should.
