The interviewer wasn't very formal, and the questions felt like they were AI-generated. There were a lot of them, and the call lasted over an hour with questions that didn't seem to relate to each other. It was quite exhausting and could definitely use some improvement.

Behavioral Technical
I had an initial informational interview with one of the managing partners. After that, the way they handled my application was really poor, which was surprising given my international experience. It felt very different and unprofessional compared to other places. The whole hiring process was not transparent and didn't seem productive. I wouldn't advise people with offers from places like the UN or NGOs to waste their time here. It feels like an exclusive group.
Confirmed questions2 questions
- I was asked a mix of competency-based questions and some technical questions that were outside the scope of the role I applied for during the Skype interview.
- One question was completely unrelated, asking about agriculture, which is not my area of expertise.
