Equity Research Associate - Biotech / Pharma

Discussion with HR over the phone followed by phone interview with analyst that I would be working under. This was followed by teleconference interview with Chicago where the job was from their office in the city closest to me. This was followed by trip to Chicago for series of interviews over one day with several people including Analyst that I had spoken with on the phone, lunch with two fairly new associates, interview with head of research department, interview with head of sales and a writing sample. Did not hear back for over a week till finally called and found out I did not get the job.
