It was a pretty easy hiring process, usually taking about 2 steps. The interviews focused on my experience and how well I'd fit working with students. There was a lot of emphasis on DEI. The whole thing took about 3 weeks.

Behavioral Technical

The interview process was poorly communicated, organized, and structured. It started with emails from the recruiter to schedule one interview. There was no initial phone screening; the recruiter immediately asked about salary expectations and stated the maximum salary. This was all done via email. The recruiter then scheduled a face-to-face interview with the hiring manager, which I was told would be the only one. After that interview, the recruiter emailed asking for references. I called the recruiter to clarify if this meant I was moving to the next steps, as references are usually requested after a verbal offer. The recruiter could only say I would get a response in two weeks and couldn't explain the next steps. After that, there was complete silence, no follow-up, not even to say I wasn't selected. I'd advise anyone not to waste their time with CIEE.

I got an email for a video interview that I had to record on another company's platform. I spent over an hour on it because the platform's recording tools weren't working. It's been three weeks and I haven't heard anything back. I sent a follow-up email and still nothing. I found this really insulting, especially after the terrible experience of the video interview, which is just a waste of everyone's time. I've learned to never do something like this again.
