World Resources Institute Analyst Interview Questions
& Process

I went through an interview and a work sample. The interview was pretty simple, though things moved slowly, which is typical. The work sample was tough given the time limit, but it was still appropriate for the job I was applying for. I got an offer but decided to take another position instead. The salary they offered was quite low for the role and my experience.

The interview process was pretty general. They asked about my educational background and how it relates to my experience, both academically and professionally. There were 3 interviewers: the CEO, MEL manager, and a senior analyst. I received the announcement in less than a month after one round of interview via phone call.

There were two interviews for different positions. The first involved several phone and Skype calls over months, culminating in a full-day in-person interview. The second position had one call followed by a full day in their office, which included a presentation. Both in-office days felt disorganized, with staff scrambling for rooms and no schedule provided. During the first interview, an illegal question about my ancestry was asked casually. A similar illegal question about ancestry was posed in the second interview, also very casually.
