The fellowship interview process had several rounds, usually 2 to 3. It started with an interview with the academy team, followed by another with the policy team. There might have also been an initial screening call with the direct supervisor, done one-on-one.

I had a first round phone interview. They asked straightforward behavioral questions and about my background. They said they'd reach out in 2 weeks, but I didn't hear back, so I followed up and found out they chose another candidate.
Confirmed questions2 questions
- Can you tell me about yourself?
- How do you approach learning about new subjects, like economic equity?

Behavioral Other
It was very disorganized and ultimately, disrespectful as they never had the courtesy to inform me that I was not successful. Firstly, I received a call and I was asked if I was still interested and to go for an interview in person with a panel in 2 days. I agreed although it seemed very rushed - no process. Then I get a call back as the initial salary they advertised was incorrect so they wanted to let me know that it was lower and whether I was still interested. Already a bad sign. Then I went to the interview that had about 6 people in person plus a few others on speaker phones - connection was very bad at times. The interview was not bad except for a couple of inappropriate questions and a hint that some people had experienced micro aggressions. Overall, they were in very much of a need of a HR director as their internal process re: hiring was highly disorganized. After all my accommodating and being responsive, I did not receive that in return even though I was supposed to hear back - even if via email- after a few days. Very disappointing. I am glad they have a HR director now as the organization seems to have a good mission.
