I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Mathematica (Boston, MA) in Jan 2019
Interview
This interview was ridiculous. I spent 4 hours speaking to 8 people a few of which I skyped with from different offices. I was essentially asked the same questions by all these different people. One interview stood out as particularly bad- I spoke with someone who works on Medicare contracts in DC and she ridiculed me for not having experience in Medicare policy (I just graduated undergrad) and complained that she hated Medicaid policy (which is what I had experience in). She even made a jab at me for jumbling some words up, after I had essentially said that same thing for 3 and a half hour straight! I was told I didn't get the job due to experience, even though they specifically stated they were looking for recent graduates. The follow up after the interview was also bad. They told me it would take about a week, and after a week had passed I followed up with them twice just to get a response.
I ended up at another company I had interned at while in college so I'm happy with how things panned out. But for the money they were offering (40,000-50,000) I thought the interview process was insane, especially for an entry level job. That Boston office really needs to get it together and treat applicants right.

Question 1
Most of the questions I got were around prior experience working in group projects. If you didn't have this type of experience in college with internships or often work individually in your current professional setting good luck trying to get a job here.
I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Mathematica (Ann Arbor, MI) in Apr 2022
Interview
After applying there were 3 rounds of interviews. The last one involved an assessment and brief presentation. This then led into a round of mini interviews with current employees. Although the experience was tiring, everyone was transparent, pleasant to talk to and the process was clear.

I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Mathematica (Washington, DC) in Jun 2021
Interview
HR was incredible in guiding me through the process. They gave me a good outline of what to expect before I even interviewed, and helped me throughout the hiring process. I also received prompt answers for any questions or concerns I had. I was on a tight timeline because I was interviewing for multiple companies at the same time. They were accommodating to my needs. Easily the best interview experience I’ve had.
I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Mathematica (Cambridge, MA) in Apr 2019
Interview
online application followed by phone interview with Senior Researcher and invited for an on site interview (5-6 hours) . HR was going through a re-organization period so it took a few months for them to get back to my application. highly recommend you go in with questions to ask your interviewers and show interest in the different projects they are engaged with. Be sure to bring a large bottle of water, you will be talking throughout the entire day.
