First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Women's World Banking.
Regional Head
It was a very detailed process, with several functional heads and board members interviewing. They were asking not just about my knowledge of the financial services market, but also about my passion for the cause.
- Are you passionate about women and women-centric causes?
Job Description
I went through an interview with Women's World Banking. I did a lot of research on them beforehand. The interviewer brought up things that were highlighted on the company website and said they weren't that important. These were things that got a lot of attention on the site. The interviewer mentioned that what was listed in the job description, about 80% of the job, wouldn't be the main focus. It felt like there was a different job description, but I confirmed we were talking about the same position. She asked me what would make me want to work there, and I mentioned the points above. That's when she dismissed what was on the website and the overall mission of the company. It became clear that this role and organization weren't the right fit for me, so I decided to end the interview, which is something I've only done once before.
- What is your reason for wanting to join this company?
Communications Specialist
I applied online and heard back a few days later to schedule a phone interview. The interview focused on my past experiences and my familiarity with certain software, specifically PowerPoint and Photoshop, as they were looking for someone skilled in those programs. Towards the end, I was asked to self-assess on a list of qualities, rating myself and providing justification. I was told they'd follow up the next week about an offer, but I never heard back.
- How would you describe your proficiency with PowerPoint?
- Can you explain your experience with WWB?
- On a scale of 1 to 10, how would you rate your skills in PowerPoint and why?
Investment Analyst
I applied online and heard back from HR about two weeks later to schedule a phone interview. The interviewer jumped right into questions and seemed to be reading from a script. They seemed disengaged, didn't ask follow-up questions, and gave very brief answers to my questions. They said they'd follow up within two weeks, but I never heard back even after I followed up. It was pretty discouraging given the company's positive public image, as the interview process didn't match it at all.
- Could you describe your experience with valuation?
