I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Gates Foundation (Seattle, WA) in Dec 2017
Interview
This was without a doubt the most professional, respectful, and pleasant recruitment process I have ever experienced. Every communication was professional and highly responsive. In both interviews, the staff made me feel comfortable and the tone was rigorous, but conversational. Even when they let me know they I was not selected, I felt great! I'm highly impressed and am more confident than ever that this is a place I would love to work.

Spoke to a recruiter, had initial conversations with two employees then a two-person interview. Very little follow-up, was told I would hear back in a week, and heard back only after I requested information a month later.
