First call was with the HR rep which just asked basic questions. The next call was with the hiring manager who didn't appear to focused on the process. She postponed our call multiple times in the same day and ended up interviewing me while driving home in traffic on the Baltimore freeway.
She said the next round would be with two PMs and that'd be followed by an assessment.

Interview
I applied to the job the day it was listed on the site and received a questionnaire to determine eligibility. Filled out the questionnaire and was determined to be eligible and got sent a HireVue invite. I completed the HireVue Friday at 9pm. It was 5 questions with 2 retakes on each. Felt like I did pretty good. Sunday morning, ZERO business days later, I received a rejection email. I was excited that a fundamental role actually had some sort of assessment or way to show myself outside of tossing my resume into the void (quants are much better at this), but they aren't even watching these. I'm so tired man, I can't do this anymore... Questions below, God speed friends.

The first round was a phone screening with HR where they verified basic information, a few days later I received a request for a follow up interview to occur the next day, which was a Zoom interview with the Chief US Economist (for the U.S. Economics role)
