I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at The Nature Conservancy (Los Angeles, CA) in Mar 2019
Interview
I applied online towards the end of their application window and heard back within 10 days to participate in a video interview. The video interview was pretty standard, just describing the position in more detail and how it fit within the company overall. I interviewed with what would have been my team lead and she gave a very good description of her team and qualities she was looking for in the new hire. The interview questions were pretty standard, and I felt she was just trying to tease out personality and overall skills.
I was then invited for a second in person interview at their office with about 5 other employees. The second interview was much more challenging from my perspective, it lasted about an hour and the questions were much more tailored towards the position which was heavy in communication and excel use. I honestly could not have prepared in advance for the second interview because the questions were SO specific (describe a time you pulled a report using excel, and describe specifically what functions within excel you used). The interviewers were all nice and respectful, and left some time for other follow up questions within the interview so it wasn't extremely rigid. While I felt like I fit the position I believe I lacked sufficient Excel experience and that was a deciding factor in me not getting a job offer. Overall the interview process was a little long and drawn out, but I never had a negative experience.
