I had two interviews, each an hour and a half long, virtually with the CEO, and it was a really good experience. I sent a follow-up with my references the next day. Then I heard back a week later, and then again a month later. I'm guessing I've been ghosted by now, even though they said I'd hear back either way a week after my last interview. It's disappointing. I hope this isn't how it is everywhere in the company. I'm sure they found someone great, but getting ghosted during a pandemic stings a bit more.

Behavioral Technical
The interview process was really long and detailed. After a very thorough phone interview, the first in-person interview was with the HR director, who was quite rude and abrasive, and also the Director, who was much milder. The second interview was with the Chief Program Officer, and they were really friendly and easy to talk to. The last interview was with the CEO, who seemed pretty self-absorbed and spent most of the time talking about himself.

Case Behavioral
So I saw the job posting online, then I had to do a written application. After that, I had an in-person interview. When I got there, I filled out another physical application and was given a scenario where I had to write a response. The interview questions were pretty standard, and they went through them quickly. The job was actually more case management than program management, and they explained all of that. I got to ask my questions at the end.
