Behavioral Technical
I had an interview in summer 2024. It was mostly behavioral questions and went well with managers. But then there was no response for a while and I eventually got rejected. It was quite disappointing because I didn't get an exact reason why.

I got selected for the written test. It has two questions. First, analyze a policy or policy proposal, then explain why it's important for a client in a specific sector. After that, create a Public Affairs and Communication plan based on how the policy will affect the client. Second, write a brief statement that the client company's Head of Public Affairs will give to journalists.

Behavioral Other
The interview process at Glassdoor was relaxed and friendly, focusing on getting to know me rather than putting me under pressure. It started with an informal chat with a recruiter who asked open-ended questions like, "Tell me about yourself" and "What interests you about this role?" The tone was conversational, allowing me to share my background and motivations comfortably. The next stage was a team fit interview, which felt more like a discussion than a formal interview. We talked about team culture and how I'd fit into the role, with a few behavioral questions, but nothing too intense.
