      Research Assistant Interview

      Fairfax, VA
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at ICF (Fairfax, VA) in Feb 2016

      Interview

      I originally met with a representative for ICF International at a career fair hosted by my school. The representatives at the career fair were recruiting for a position outside of my field, but gave me contact information for recruiters within my field at the company. I then contacted the recruiter in the fall after applying online to several positions online that interested me. I got an email the next day from the recruiter informing me that my positions were not interviewing until the spring and that I should reach back out then. In the spring, I reached back out to ICF about the positions I was interested in and got a phone call that afternoon from a recruiter asking me about my interest in the company. A phone interview was then set-up with my now manager for the next day. After the phone interview with my now manager, I was invited into the office to have four back-to-back 30min interviews with members of my team. After interviewing at the office, I was shown around the building before leaving. The next day, I was contacted with an offer. Overall, I really appreciated the timeliness of the ICF interview process.

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at ICF in Apr 2023

      Interview

      Two interview rounds. The first interview was more about getting know each other, interests, the team. The second interview was with more senior staff members, a bit more on talking about technical abilities and interests, followed by a case study writing assignment. The assignment took 2.5h and was adequate for the level that I applied for. The process took a long time. Sometimes I did not hear anything for several weeks and had to chase them, other times they were super responsive and called me spontaneously to discuss expectations. Overall positive and friendly, but at times inconsistent!
