The interview process was quick and took about 2 rounds to be completed. The interviewers were very friendly and I have nothing but nice things to say about people at this company. The people there are extremely kind and hard working and I had an amazing experience my summer there. The interview itself was not challenging.

Behavioral
The interview process involved three stages: a phone screen, an in-person meeting with the potential manager and a colleague, and another in-person meeting with senior staff. I was one of two finalists, and my references were checked. Unfortunately, the hiring manager couldn't secure final approval within the initially communicated timeframe. I was upfront about my situation and had turned down another job offer, only to be informed the next day that they had hired someone else. It was a really frustrating experience, especially because they were aware of my time constraints and the personal sacrifices I made to continue in their process.

The interview process was pretty straightforward. They asked some good questions about how my skills would fit the job. We talked about why volunteerism is important to me, my customer service experience, and some stuff that wasn't on my resume. It was short but fair, with no tricky questions.
