I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at ClimateWorks Foundation in Feb 2025
Interview
There were 3 rounds of interviews (first with HR, second with a panel of staff who are not directly in the team, last one with the team members and hiring manager). I also had to do a 3h exercise before the last interview, which was relatively easy and a direct application of what the job would focus on. Everything was remote. It was a good experience until they GHOSTED me! The staff at the last interview also seemed a bit distracted, which did not give me a great impression. The first 2 interviews were very professional and staff was friendly and engaged. After all the time invested in the process, it was extremely disappointing to not even get an email from HR indicating that I did not get the job (I followed up multiple times with HR and 2+ months after the last interview I haven't heard anything). How long does that take to write such an email? Two minutes? Don't ask candidates to go through 3 rounds of interviews and 3-hour long exercises if you are unable to notify them of the results of the process.
I interviewed at ClimateWorks Foundation (London, England)
Interview
3 rounds，HR screening followed by written exercis and a panel interview. Behaviour questions and technical questions were raised randomly. It seems that CWF has a criteria to select the right candidate.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
how do you manage the relashionship with multi stakeholders?
1. 30 minute phone interview with associate director, programs operations
2. 1 hour interview with program director
3. 2 hour written exercise—essentially how would you go about building and leading your portfolio
4. 1 hour final round panel interview
It was odd to read the review below that communication was clear and the process was efficient. My experience was very different. After the first round, I heard nothing for 19 days. And now following the final round, I’ve heard nothing in almost a month—no response even to acknowledge a couple check-in emails. I only assume I didn’t get the position because it’s been so long and the posting was just removed from the careers page. After investing the time to go through four rounds, I would have hoped they’d at least tell me I’m no longer a candidate.
