I got an email for an interview a month after the application deadline passed. The interview happened in November, and I never heard back after that. It was at the IOM HQ in Rome, and they spoke both Italian and English. They asked some case scenario questions.

it was a pretty mid-level process, they got straight to the point and were friendly, the english speakers were okay. overall i think it was a good opportunity to apply, but i didn't get the offer though, it was a G-5 contract.
