      Development Coordinator Interview

      Jan 30, 2019
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Palo Alto, CA
      No offer
      Neutral experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Stanford University (Palo Alto, CA) in Jan 2019

      Interview

      This was one of the most intensive interview processes I have been through. I get that this is Stanford, but this is essentially an entry level admin role. I was screened by a recruiter, then took a timed proofreading test and a timed excel skills test. After that, I had another phone screening. This was followed by a two hour onsite interview which consisted of three group interviews. I then had a final three and a half hour onsite, where I essentially met everyone on their team for four back to back interviews without any scheduled breaks. Working with the recruiter was interesting to say the least. The info she had provided to her by their team was minimal at best. Itineraries were consistently sent last minute and even she seemed surprised by the number of people I met with in the final round given that this is essentially entry level. For the final interview, I had less than one day to prep myself mentally for meeting with nine people as previously I had been led to think I was meeting with only one person. I was barely informed about what the job actually entailed and felt overwhelmed during that final round of interviews. Some of the folks involved seemed very disinterested in what I had to say when they realized how different my background was. It felt very much like I was being talked down to when they began explaining things more clearly. The person in charge of bringing me to the interview room really set the tone of the day when she first met me, as she was practically appalled when she realized I was the candidate. I could tell by the second half of the final interviews that I was not going to be offered the job.

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Stanford University

      Interview

      Relative quick interview process, if you are able to get through the ATS. Got contacted by recruiter, set up interviews 1 week later. Heard their decision roughly 1 week later. Be prepared for MS Office test that only works with one version.
