Question 1
They asked how my current role would inform how I approach the position and work.
Long interview process. Interview with HR, Skills test, then 2 interview with Programme lead. Prepare for long process about 6 weeks and communication break down/ Lack of it or some level of ghosting.
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at GiveDirectly (Chicago, IL) in Aug 2024
Interview
The interview process was very transparent. I made it all the way to the final round and at each stage I was met with realistic expectations about turn around times. I was definitely bummed to not get an offer, but they seem to really have a sound process. The take home exercise was reasonable and had little ambiguity, which I appreciated considering many companies have you do free labor.
Overall would interview with them again and would accept an offer if it were given.

Question 1
Be prepared to ask how you can relate to the population you would be serving. A response about how it's personal to you is probably the good way to go.
