Spoke with HR originally for a different position, but told them that a programmatic role would be a better fit. He agreed, and had me apply pushing me past the initial phone screening to a 3 round interview which took around 2 hours over skype. In the end, I was their second choice, and their first choice accepted the offer. They wanted me to answer how I specifically kept myself organized, offering more detailed examples than what I had given. The second interview asked VERY obtuse questions that threw me off initially. Just be creative and work through the questions!

The process started off with the HM questioning why I would think I even belonged at the Foundation, due to my "confusing" background. I have a very diverse work history. She said "hopefully" I can figure out what it is I want to do. I was surprised I was moved to the final round of interviews after this. The final round consisted of 5 interviews lasting 30-45 mins. The hiring team was fine, but at times implied they were better and smarter than I was. I did my best to answer their questions with real examples and followed the STAR method. I followed up with the recruiter multiple times over 3 weeks with no reply. Finally, a manager reached out to me to let me know that particular recruiter didn't work there anymore, and I wasn't selected to move forward anyway. I would never interview here again after the way I was treated by recruiting and this particular hiring team in general. I wasted a lot of time and energy to be treated as "less than" by the hiring team and ghosted by recruiting.
