Blockchain & Climate Institute interview questions

My experience with BCI's interview process reveals significant organizational issues that potential candidates should be aware of. I initially applied for a Deputy Chief Technology Officer position, which was advertised as a senior leadership role encompassing multiple technology areas including blockchain, AI, IoT, and big data analysis. However, confusion began immediately during the assessment phase when Section C assumed candidates were applying for specific technical streams rather than the broader executive role I had pursued. After successfully completing all three assessment sections, I received an interview invitation for a "Principal Technology Officer (AI)" position instead of the Deputy CTO role I had originally applied for. This represented a significant narrowing of scope from broad technology leadership to a specialized AI focused position, with no explanation provided for the change. Despite raising this discrepancy professionally and seeking clarification, I proceeded with the interview process. Following the interview, I was rejected without any feedback being provided, despite investing many hours in their lengthy assessment process. It was only after I made a Subject Access Request under GDPR that I received feedback, which did not accurately reflect the nature of our conversation during the interview. The experience suggests either significant internal disorganization or that they may have already identified a preferred candidate while going through procedural motions with other applicants. The lack of transparency around role changes and absence of constructive feedback makes this a frustrating process for serious candidates.

Interviewed with a professor and head of data analysis. Interview was 30 minutes long. Then had a pretty weird interview with the ceo, another 30 minutes, it was very strict and non personable.
