I applied online. I interviewed at Gates Foundation (Seattle, WA) in Sep 2020
Interview
Very rigorous process. Interviewed with multiple members of the team, both leaders and peers. The process may take several weeks to coordinate due to availability. You will get a mix of both subject matter and leadership questions.
Spoke to a recruiter, had initial conversations with two employees then a two-person interview. Very little follow-up, was told I would hear back in a week, and heard back only after I requested information a month later.

Interview
Multi-staged interview process with. multiple levels of conversation with different stakeholders. Interviews stretched over the course of 5 months with gaps in between. Received good updates in-between. Very competitive with a lot of applicants.
Lovely and respectful interview process. I did not ultimately get the role, but felt cared for throughout, and was kept in mind for future roles. The interview helped me prepare for future interviews.
