Applied online. The process started with a 15 minute interview with one of the team leads. Was moved on to a group interview scheduled three weeks later. The interview consisted of a one hour presentation of the company and role. We then moved onto behavioral questions. After those questions, we moved online a group project with the interviewers off camera. The process wasn't bad, but I wouldn't suggest applying unless you're an h1b or within the h1b or OPT ecosystem. Group interviews are used to assess how people work within a team. I was not passed on to the next step. The other candidates seemed like lovely people, but if you were to take an objective look at the exercise, none of the other candidates even attempted to promote collaboration (likely due to the awkwardness of group interviews). In my opinion, considering CTIdata is a consultancy group, they may be looking for OPT candidates, but do not want to explicitly source for OPTs due to their company culture of inclusion. Or, the interview serves solely as an audition (who the interviewers personally like for reasons not associated with skill), rather than an assessment of soft skills. If you are OPT, great oppurtunity for you. If not, I wouldn't waste your time.
