I applied through the website, heard back within a month, had a good phone-screening interview, an interview with two senior staff in the department, then did a written test and a final round interview with two more senior staff. Everyone was very engaged and communicative, and the process felt very well-run. I didn't get the position but they were very interested in my candidacy and I felt more inclined, after the process, to apply for new positions with the organization as they come up.

I am compelled to warn future applicants to not bother with this organization. With great enthusiasm, I participated in six rounds of interviews (in addition to a writing test). Following a sudden silence, I repeatedly tried to get some insight. After some hounding, the HR contact informed me they had extended an offer to the other finalist. I took her feedback at face value, but just about a month later, the job was reposted. To this day, years later, the job remains unfilled. Over my 20-year career and I've never have had such a disrespectful experience. I see here on Glassdoor several nearly identical experiences. I suggest that OSF/the Communications department read and heed their mission statement. Certainly treating others with respect is one of their core values, is it not? Also: given that they are repeat offenders, I cannot help but think: are they really in good faith seeking a professional or are they mining for ideas on how to do their jobs? Note: I've also interviewed with a number of corporations and was always treated with respect and dignity at all stages of the process. This is an NGO that needs to walk the talk.
