It was a meet and greet, not formal but a way to get to know PAI and vice versa. I met the HR lead and CEO. It was a refreshing, disarming, warm, and inviting conversation. Thanks PAI for the approach, seeing candidates as people and professionals who appreciate respect and validation. Hope to move to formal rounds.

I applied through a school job link and heard back via email within two weeks. Since I wasn't in DC, the interview was conducted online via Skype. It involved going through the qualifications listed in the job posting. I answered the questions sequentially, and it seemed to go well.

I applied with my resume, cover letter, and a short writing sample. They reviewed my application quickly and I got an interview offer two days after the deadline. First, I had a one-on-one with the supervisor. Then, about a week later, I had a second round interview with a panel of the team I'd be working with. The interviews were good and they asked some really thoughtful questions.
