It was a 3 part interview, anywhere between 30 minutes to 1 hour. One with HR, the team and the hiring manager. Overall, it was pretty straightforward with the standard technical, behavioral and cultural fit questions.

The first step usually involves putting candidates in a group with 4 or 5 current employees. This is a good chance to meet people and check out the office atmosphere. However, these employees' opinions about the candidate aren't really used or even asked for.

- I got a job there. But just wanted to share that the bosses have, for the most part, already decided who they are going to hire before interviews take place. This happened time and time again.

I applied for the job in July and then got an email a month later to schedule a Zoom call. I only got through one round, so I can't say anything about the later stages. The recruiter I spoke with was really nice and honest, one of the best I've talked to. I felt comfortable being open with her. Before the call, I wasn't sure about going back to nonprofits, but after talking with her, I'd seriously consider it if I got a good offer and things went well with the rest of the team. Sadly, I never heard back, and I wish I'd at least gotten an email update, which is why I'm rating this neutrally.
