Had recently submitted an interview review but mistakenly selected the "Accepted Offer" option. I was, in fact, given an offer, and declined it. Below is the original review: My interview process was pretty similar to those already described in other reviews. About a week after sending in my resume and cover letter, I was asked to complete an aptitude test online. Following the aptitude test, an HR rep contacted me for a call. After our call, I was asked to complete a research assignment. Following the assignment, I was asked to come into the Ballston office for in-person interviews. The interview questions were all pretty standard, I can't recall anything out of the ordinary. I was eventually given an offer, and that was when I felt duped and had wasted about 6 weeks of my time. During my first phone interview with HR, I was given a $5k range of what the Research Analyst position goes for. The high end of the range had been slightly lower than what I was hoping for, but because she assured me that there was plenty of upward mobility within Hanover (i.e., raises and salary adjustments), I continued with the interview process. However, the base salary listed on the offer letter I was given ended up being significantly less than what I was told. To be exact, it was $15k less than the low end of the range I was given. When I pointed this out to the HR rep, she came back with an additional $10k, which is still lower than the minimum she had told me during our first call. I found this deceit to be completely unacceptable and would advice future job seekers to stay away. If this is the type of shady practices Hanover employs to get people in, I can only imagine how they treat their employees.

Fairly straightforward if you have a friend who refers you. It depends on the hiring manager how hard they're going to be on you. Then you do a project which takes more time than it should.
