It started with a phone interview with HR, then an associate director interview where I was given a work sample. After that, I had a debrief session for the work sample, and the final round was with team members. I heard from a reference that they were never contacted even though HR insisted they did. After explaining the miscommunication, I never got an apology or true answer (this is my only complaint about the process). Also, the number of rounds felt unnecessary and maybe could have been condensed into 2-3 rounds.

After an initial screening, I waited a week to be contacted for a face-to-face interview at their offices, which was supposed to be half a day. When I got there, other applicants were also present, and we all went through different interview stages throughout the day. There was a one-on-one with HR and the Program Director, a teaching interview with four program managers followed by a debrief, and a timed 40-minute data assessment where I had to answer three questions and email them back. Finally, there was a concluding interview with another program manager. Even though I felt I had strong skills, I wasn't sure if I'd proceed. The HR/talent person said I'd get 'next steps,' but after a long silence following my thank you letter, I knew I wasn't selected. They took over 8 days to send a rejection email. Expect many questions and manage your time well. Leave early, and have fun. While I didn't move forward, it was a good experience. Plan to be there from around 9:30 AM to 2 PM. The process is quite intense but also exciting.

I applied to iMentor and didn't hear back for over 5 months. Then, on a Thursday, they contacted me for a phone interview the very next afternoon. After that, I was invited for an in-person interview the following Monday. They said I'd get more info by the end of the week. By Monday, I still hadn't heard anything, so I reached out to my HR contact. They let me know I wasn't moving forward, but didn't give a reason. I was pretty bummed and tried to get more info, but couldn't. It felt weird how long it took to hear back initially, and then how fast the interview process moved. Their work is inspiring, but the experience left me feeling a bit deflated.
