First up was a screening call, where they asked me to go over parts of my resume and check if I was cool with the job details. Then, I had an in-person interview with another HR person and two team members. Each part took about 30-45 minutes, and the questions were all about seeing if I'd fit in with the role.

Started with 2 calls, one with the director, and another with the executive director. Then, there was an in-person interview where they asked a lot about my curiosity in the industry, why I was interested in NPD, and to walk through my resume. There was also a skills assessment.

The interview process was okay but took them forever to get back to me. I interviewed a month ago and they kept saying I was still being considered and would hear back by the end of the week, but then they never responded. It was a very frustrating and slow process.
