On their website, their recruitment process sounds very people-oriented. However, after going through it, I felt the opposite. It seems like a bit of a waste of time applying to them. You spend a lot of time preparing answers and even completing some written tasks, yet the only feedback you receive is just a couple of sentences. I don’t think it’s worth the effort to apply.

The first stage was an exam: part 1 short definitions about economic concepts and one longer question about central bank, housing prices and other options (you have to choose one). Then you have to answer more complex question about economics (macro, micro and econometrics). Last part was to review and improve a BID proposal in a world with track changes.

The interview process involves a long test, initial technical round, and final round with MD. Discussions revolve around background, motivation, and lots of economics. I found the written test and initial interview stimulating.
However the entire interview process was done in bad faith. I was told at the end of my MD round that I would actually get an Economist role if at all and not Senior Economist due to lack of relevent experience. Why not mention it before? Then I got a rejection with no explanations whatsoever.
Seeing others comment the same thing, I think they may have some free time at hand and perhaps interview without intention at times. MD got confused with pareto and kaldor hicks efficiency.
