I applied online. I interviewed at Fight for the Future
Interview
Terrible and inequitable interview process. It dragged on, and was overly burdensome, required “homework” (aka free work), and ended up in a BS excuse of why they didn’t hire me.
I went through a phone interview, a 2nd interview, turned in an entire campaign plan, and when I told them that I had another offer in transparency but was interested in working for them, they added yet a third and last minute interview (via video call).
In the end, they told me I was not extended the job because I had “never worked a remote job before” and they had concerns over that specific lack of experience.
Give me a break. First off, this was before COVID. It was pretty clear that everyone was going into the office. And my type of job was not going to be remote (lobbyist/campaigner). Why waste my time if you knew I had never* worked a remote job based on my resume? Perhaps to take free work and get a campaign plan out of it??

I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Fight for the Future (New York, NY) in Nov 2017
Interview
Their job is necessarily reactive to political events, and so things are hectic and last-minute. The process dragged on partially due to this, but after I finally got to work on a short trial project with them (paid), I didn't hear back from them for two weeks. When I got a reply, it was continued interest but no feedback, or active next steps. At that point I bowed out.
