Economist Group interview questions

4 stages but dropped out voluntarily from 2 stage. The first stage was with the talent team to go through the process, the role and expectations which was I thought very organised. The second stage was with the hiring manager. The third stage would be a task and potentially a 4th stage with someone from the leadership team.

Good conversation with the recruiter based in London via video call. I got a strong sense of the role and the company culture. I then had a call with the hiring manager. The conversation shifted quite a bit between broad topics, specific questions, and higher-level strategy, so at times it was a little hard to follow. That said, he came across as someone who would be great to work for. The final stage included a presentation and panel interview. I didn’t end up getting an offer. It was definitely a challenging part and the guys put you under pressure, and looking back, there are things I would have prepared for differently, so I understand why they decided to move in another direction. Overall, it was a positive experience, and I would apply again as they seem like a good company who have a decent product
