TNTP Program Manager Interview Questions
& Process

The interview experience with TNTP was completely unprofessional. The interviewer and I scheduled a time to speak via phone and the time was confirmed. She called an hour early, never having realized it was not our confirmed time to speak. I was thrown off guard, I wasn't expecting the call for another hour. We spoke briefly and after I pointed out the mix up, we arranged to speak the next day. Again, time and date was confirmed. I waited for the call and nothing. Half an hour after our call had been scheduled, I emailed her to inquire about our conversation. She emailed me hours later and asked if I was available to speak then, at 9pm at night. She had forgotten we were to speak and had not scheduled it into her calendar. Once again, we set up another date and time to speak and finally, on the third try, did I have a conversation with her. I was to hear back regarding next steps within a week, two weeks later and nothing. I followed up and she responded that the position had already been filled. I would proceed with caution when interviewing with TNTP. Nothing about the process was smooth or professional. HR really needs to vet the professionalism and courtesy behind their interviews. If this is how they communicate to potential candidates, it is not a great impression on them.

HR reached out about a job and asked me to do a written assignment that's like the actual job. I had 3 days to do it and had to make assumptions. It was a lot of work and I had to assume a lot about the background and goals. I think I had the skills, but not enough info to make good decisions, so I wasn't surprised they didn't move me forward. It was a bummer to put in so much time and get no feedback. I wish they'd done a quick phone chat first so I could've learned more about the job and what they wanted before I spent all that time.

First, I submitted a cover letter tailored to the position. Then, I completed assignments related to the role. After that, I had a phone interview with the hiring manager. The final stage was an on-site interview. The hiring team provided excellent communication throughout the process and was very helpful. I was always given the chance to ask questions and was connected with team members to understand their perspective on working there. I felt well-supported the entire time.
