I had an informational interview with one of the Malaria and Neglected Tropical Disease directors, as I was already consulting with them. She then put me forward for the role. I then went through five interviews over two stages. First, I spoke with an HR representative who asked me to describe my last five jobs, no further back. Then, I had back-to-back interviews with my potential direct supervisor and a colleague and consultant I'd be working with. My potential supervisor and I really connected and just talked about places we'd visited. The interviews were scheduled for 30 minutes each but ran over. The HR interview was more formal, but the second stage was very relaxed.

I had 3 interviews with Path. First, a recruiter call, then an interview with their India office team, and finally, an interview with the head of the Brussels office. After the last interview, I was told I'd hear back the following week. I didn't. I followed up with the recruiter after two weeks, and she said she still hadn't heard from the panel and would get back to me ASAP. I followed up two more times after that. Three months later, I still haven't heard anything. Very rude.

It was a pretty standard interview process with a recruiter call, a hiring manager chat, and then the main interview loop. After the final interview, I got an email saying I was a finalist and they needed to check references. My recruiter was totally unhelpful when I tried to get details. I had to fill out reference info through a weird third-party system. What was really messed up is that the reference checking company actually called one of my references to give them a SALES PITCH. PATH seems okay with sharing personal data. Given this shady practice and the lack of communication, I can't recommend this company.

I applied and heard back about a month later for a first interview, which I felt went really well. About a month after that, they contacted me for a second round interview. I thought this one also went pretty well, and I felt I had all the necessary experience and knowledge for the role. I also felt a good connection with the director and the team. However, HR unfortunately didn't respond to my emails and ghosted me for a month after the second interview. Because of this, I don't have the desire to work for a company that behaves this way.
