I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Busara Center for Behavioral Economics (New Delhi) in Nov 2021
Interview
Applied online in India (November 2020).
First step in process is technical test. They will ask to prepare PPTs on designing a study and data task.
Did not get past. I have applied before twice and did not get through technical round. The time is very less so I will say process is tough!
They are very prompt in the communications.
I applied through other source. I interviewed at Busara Center for Behavioral Economics (Nairobi) in Oct 2025
Interview
It’s structured interview to a fault, no time to have a natural conversation or even ask questions about the position. The interviewers just smile and nod, but not responsively. They ask situation based questions and rationale behind your first pre-work submission. Communications from HR is very bad and they told me I did not move forward but then scheduled an interview— very disorganised process.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why Busara? They also asked how you would handle an employee that missed deadlines. Not very rigorous or technical.

Interview
First round was a case study that had to be analysed and put into a presentation. Second round was presenting the analysis, answering questions on it and answering further technical questions about research methodologies. Third and fourth round were more focussed on career goals, personal interests and whether you're a good fit for the organisaiton/work culture. It was a great experience overall.

Question 1
How would you design an RCT? How does it differ from other methodologies?
