So we had a bunch of interviews, like, with people all over the place, different levels of the company, and then also this M&E exercise. Took about two months. And yeah, at least one part was totally in the language they wanted for the job.

Technical Behavioral

The interview process was quite slow, involving a fairly extensive technical assignment. After three rounds, I didn't hear back from them, even after following up. It left a bad impression, although I think the teams themselves are nice. The recruitment team really needs improvement.

Behavioral Technical Presentation

The whole interview and hiring thing went for about 4-5 weeks. There were 4 interview rounds in total: HR, Program Manager/Country Director, Technical Supervisor, and Global/Regional Directors. After the HR interview, there was also a technical exercise. This exercise was supposed to take at most 3 hours, but to do it right, it actually takes 6-7 hours. It was pretty basic: clean an excel sheet, write a 1-page memo, and make a PowerPoint presentation with the findings.
