Super disappointed with how disorganized this interview process was. They had set up a 40-minute meeting with three interviewers, but only one showed up. She mentioned upfront that she had another meeting so would have to do a quick interview. As expected, she cut it short in under 20 minutes, and I felt like she wasn't even listening to my answers. Also, I had asked for accommodations when scheduling, and they didn't follow through, so I had to remind her during the interview. They never got back to me, so I took another offer from a company that actually respected my time. It was really disappointing to see such unprofessionalism and lack of respect for candidates, especially since I've followed their work before.

I was contacted by someone in the interview process, and we scheduled a phone call to talk about the organization and my background. It seemed like a good conversation, and they mentioned they'd let me know about the next steps after reviewing all the applicants. However, I never heard back, even after I followed up. They were nice during the interview, but I was let down by how things went. Maybe the new leadership cut their funding?

It was a straightforward interview about my submitted writing sample, my team-working style, communication, and strengths/weaknesses. The interview was conducted over Zoom, and the interviewers were very thoughtful and kind throughout the process. They got back to me a couple of weeks later with an offer, which I accepted.

Applied a few days ago, and then a recruiter reached out for a first interview. Had it about a week later, and it was longer than usual but she was great, giving me lots of info. It was about 45 minutes on the phone, and after, she had me complete a pretty long questionnaire from NWLC about our discussion. She wanted it back fast. Got it back within the week, then heard nothing for almost a month. The recruiter apologized and gave me three updates saying the organization was still reviewing the documents. Finally got rejected after a month.
