The first round was a basic 1:1 interview followed by a skills test on a computer testing basic Microsoft software. The second round was with individuals from the specific department you applied to.

I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Ford Foundation in Apr 2025
Interview
I had one interview with the department I was applying for. Overall it was an ok interview, but I couldn't shake the feeling that one of the interviewers didn't want to be there. They showed up ten minutes late, which was fine, we are all human. But throughout the rest of the interview it felt like they didn't want to be there or didn't care about the things I was saying. They were on their phone for a portion of the interview and spent most of the time staring at the wall. The other person was fine, they seemed interested, but it was definitely one of the weirdest interviews I have ever had. The whole thing made me wonder if I ever actually had a shot at the position or if they were being forced to meet with me.
