I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Gates Foundation
Interview
I went thru 9 interviews only to then receive a copy & paste from rejection letter from the Recruiter that was auto sent at 3a.m. I expected a higher caliber of feedback given the process took over 3 months, and I interviewed with every member of the HR Team as well as those who would be clients. From my candidate side, no one seemed to be on the same page and there were indicators of in fighting between previous, or maybe current, people on the HR team. Numerous interviewers emphasized that there was high turnover and a lot of change, but that "things are getting better".
