Had a panel interview with three people, they asked about 7-10 questions about my program operations and coordination experience. Then I had to do a technical test that I had 24 hours to submit after the interview. Got the response back in four weeks.

Behavioral Presentation
I got the interview invitation about 2 weeks after the job posting closed. The interview was scheduled for 3 days later, which gave me some practice time. They also asked for references to be sent before the interview. For accessibility needs, they sent the interview questions in advance, which I really appreciated.

Presentation Behavioral Group
I got the interview invite only three days before, which made it tricky to adjust with my current job. I was interviewed by a panel of four people. The director this job reported to seemed really dismissive, like rolling her eyes at my answers and even sighing with annoyance. The other people on the panel were nice enough though. I decided to pull out because I didn't want to work for someone who acted like that during an interview; it's a bad sign for how they might act later.
