Candidate interview experiences
First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at National Endowment for Democracy.
Program Assistant
The interviews were fine, people were friendly and questions were normal. But the process was ridiculous and I felt extremely disrespected. I was in the interview process for 4 rounds of interviews over 3 months. After the final interview, I was told to expect a response by the end of the week or beginning of next week. I followed up the next week after not hearing anything, and that email was ignored. Then, during my subsequent job search, I saw that they reposted the position! After telling me they were looking for someone ASAP and strung me along through a 4 round interview process over 3 months. I cannot believe the lack of respect that this company has shown, and while it is probably a blessing in disguise to have been ghosted as I believe that reflects company culture, I have been very disappointed at their treatment of candidates and have never experienced treatment so demeaning. I will not be applying with this company again, and would not recommend it to anyone.
- Can you elaborate on your experience and how it relates to the position?
Project Manager
The interview process was informative and straightforward. They processed me relatively quickly, even though the interview for the internship involved an initial application and two rounds of phone interviews. I felt they asked fair questions and gave me the opportunity to highlight my skills.
- They quizzed me on my language ability and my knowledge of regional issues.
Project Manager
The hiring process was fast and efficient. I had several interviews. HR and the hiring manager seemed to be confused about my application. It wasn't passed on to the hiring manager, and he only responded after I called and left him a voicemail about my application.
- Can you rate the state of democracy by country in a particular region?
