This interview process was unlike anything I've experienced before. They really make sure the person they hire can handle the job and will also push the company to get better. They do this by using unusual interview questions and tasks.

I applied online and answered a questionnaire, and while I thought I did okay, my answers were pretty vague and I didn't really expect a follow-up. But then I got an email asking me to schedule an in-person interview. When I got there, they said it was a 'leadership' interview and asked some weird questions, more 'geeky' than related to the job tasks. They said I'd hear back within 24 hours, but got an email within an hour and a half saying they went with someone else. Honestly, interviewing there was a total waste of my time.

The interview process took 3 months and included 4 interviews, which felt excessive. There were two phone interviews and two in-person interviews. The main contact person from the organization did not follow up as promised, making the whole process very slow. Fortunately, I am proactive and kept my options open. If I had only been interested in this specific position, I would have been very disappointed. Despite the slow pace, I enjoyed learning about the organization and believe they do important work. Everyone I spoke with seemed passionate about their roles and the positive community impact they've had.

The interview process was thorough and a little lengthy but worth it nonetheless. You might want to bring a snack since you could be asked to stay and complete an assessment. Having computer software knowledge is recommended.
