I interviewed at Climate Policy Initiative (London, England)
Interview
OK process: screening, written test, technical interview, final interview. Everyone was very friendly and the questions were fair. Took a while (on one occasion two weeks) to get a response whether you made it to the next round, but that is better than never hearing back at all!
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What event in the climate space are you most excited about or most looking forward to this year?
I had a relatively disappointing experience. While the technical teams were kind and knowledgeable, the recruitment managers were slow to respond and lacked transparency in their communication. My case study was initially scheduled in the wrong time zone and had to be rescheduled multiple times, which added unnecessary stress and length to the process.

Question 1
Technical questions on data analysis, data cleaning etc
Questions around the climate finance landscape
Interviewer seemed somewhat disengaged. Asked basic questions about experience and climate and conservation finance, project management, how I work as part of a team and so on and so forth.
