Submitted an online application and got an email to set up a 30-minute phone screen. Then, had a 30-minute phone screen with two people. After that, there was a two-part writing assessment, which included a writing sample and a hypothetical question, as part of a one-hour interview with four people.

Behavioral Other
The interview process was quite disorganized and took a long time. I got an email asking for an interview, but it got rescheduled without a new date. Then they set up a phone interview, and the interviewers seemed bored, annoyed, and distracted. I never got any updates after that, even though they said they'd tell me about the next steps. It's okay if they don't want to move forward, but people deserve to know if they're still being considered. Honestly, the whole experience made the organization look bad, and the interview made me question if I even wanted to work there.

I sent in my application and heard back about two to three weeks later asking for an interview. The interview itself was pretty standard, covering my interest in Government Relations, TWS, and my future aspirations. About 10 days after that, I got an offer.

Communications were very clear, and they paid for my travel to the interview. There was a 30-minute presentation followed by 1.5 hours of questions and discussion. It was a two-round interview process. The panel was highly competitive but also extremely personable, offering excellent feedback and thoughtful questions.
