Case
The interview included a very data-heavy but completely artificial case study that felt impossible to complete in the time suggested. They didn't offer any compensation for several days of work and then provided no feedback after it was submitted.

We started with an intro call with the hiring lead to talk about the role, then an HR screener. After that, there was a panel interview focusing on people management, my experience, and interests.

First, an HR call to go over work eligibility, your salary expectations, and your interest in the company. They'll make sure you're a good fit. Then, a technical assessment, which is offline and really detailed, testing your knowledge and decision-making. After that, you'll have a peer interview with other directors to talk about the day-to-day reality of the job and confirm your personality and skills align with the role. Finally, a hiring manager and leadership panel interview, which is a mix of technical and behavioral questions.

Behavioral Technical Presentation
The recruitment and interview process at Evidence Action was top-notch. They were upfront about the process and timeline. When things shifted, they communicated changes clearly and respectfully, managing expectations well. The HR team's communications were consistently timely, respectful, and thorough. I found the interview process challenging because they're very thorough and focused on finding the right fit, which involved several interviews. However, this allowed me to get a good understanding of the organization and its culture. Everyone I spoke with was engaging, dedicated, and generous with their time.
