I interviewed at American Civil Liberties Union (Washington, DC)
Interview
Made it to the second round panel interview, interviewers were nice but slightly impatient and seemed unprepared. I also only had 2 out of three interviewers. I sent a follow up email and never got a response.

Question 1
Which outlets should we be connecting with that we aren't already?
I applied online. I interviewed at American Civil Liberties Union
Interview
Typical phone screening to assess if I had the basic qualifications for the job. I was told they had many applicants, and was also told I would be pushed through to the second round but that ended up not being the case.

Why are you applying for this position? What about this job interests you? Tell me what you know about the ACLU.
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at American Civil Liberties Union (San Francisco, CA) in Nov 2017
Interview
Very short (I think 20 minute) phone interview with the Communications Director, about 1.5 months after the application deadline. I received a response (no feedback would be given) about a week after the interview.

Question 1
The interview mostly consists of a scenario where you are posed with a list of tasks and their deadlines and asked how you would prioritize them under varying conditions (ie. now this deadline is moved up, now a more senior team member asks for you to also do x, how does this change your prioritization?). However, the interview was so rushed that they spit all these hypotheticals at you so quickly and unclearly, but there is little time for clarifying questions. After the prioritization task, they ask a few questions pertaining to your resume, nothing extraordinary. There was no time to ask questions about the role or what they were looking for. I found it remarkable that the approach to a role on the communications team would be so poorly communicated. Very disappointing given the prestige of the organization.
