Did three rounds of interviews– first with two Directors, second with two higher-ups, and last with the CEO. First interview was mostly about my research process and included a very simple Arabic test at the end (translating a paragraph from a news article). Second was a bit more difficult– one of the men was a bit aggressive and implied that my current role is mostly making coffees. Both ~45 min. In my final interview with the CEO, he was perfectly polite, but made it clear that he was looking for an ideological match as opposed to expertise/a particular skillset. He has a huge emphasis on neutrality and a deep distaste for any type of bias. The final email I received mentioned that in the end, they didn't hire anyone.

tough, lengthy, intense, to the point, substantive, common questions, job-specific questions, one on one, several rounds of interviews plus written assignment, zoom interview, opportunity to ask questions, no response to a follow-up email,
