Cornerstone Research Associates interview questions

Two 45 minute interviews, each had a 20 minute case component based on real cases. One of them required knowledge of econometrics, the other was easier with more basic statistics. The remaining time is split between discussing Cornerstone and the candidate’s research. Found them to be generally more intense than interviews at competing firms.

The interviewers were very interested in how my interest in Cornerstone compared to academic jobs. I was honest and said that I am interested in both, which seemed okay.
