Colloquio
GD reached out to me, asking me to apply. I thought the position was a great fit for me based on my experience and education, and I applied immediately. A few days later, I was asked to interview. I selected the first available time slot. I prepared for the interview by reading nearly everything on their website. The interviewer was 6 minutes late calling me. I had to email her asking if we were still talking. I thought the conversation went fine. Simple questions asking me about my experience and thoughts on poverty as well as what I liked about the organization. A few days after the interview, someone emailed me letting me know that I didn't move on in the process, and they wished me luck in my job search. But, I was not job searching. They had reached out to me saying they thought I'd be a good fit, not vice versa. I was surprised that I wasn't moving foward and couldn't imagine what I could have said during the very simple phone screen to disqualify myself from the process. Their website says they value direct, constructive feedback, so I asked for feedback about what I did or did not do that caused them to lose interest so quickly. No response. I guess they do not value direct feedback as much as they claim.

The process was very clear with all the steps laid out. I felt supported at each step and was able to ask questions of the HR team when they arose both during and after the interview.

Colloquio
I was invited to a phone screen over zoom. The interviewer did not turn on their camera and asked standard phone screen questions. Two weeks later I followed up and then was sent a work sample exercise. The work sample exercise ended up being two different exercises, one written and one in excel. This work exercise was by far the most extensive work sample exercise I've ever been asked to do. Then invited to a second interview, however in the second interview it was framed as another phone screen and I was asked the exact same questions as in the first interview. Again the interviewer did not turn on their camera. After two weeks I reached out to check in and was told I would not be moving forward. I emailed back to ask for feedback and was never given a response. I felt like the time I put into this interview process was not respected. I would not apply here again.
