I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Gates Foundation in Aug 2022
Interview
Many rounds of behavioral interviews and a slow process overall. Expect at least 2 months for most interview processes. Overall friendly interviewers who are on the hiring team and standard behavioral questions.

Question 1
Tell me about a time you had to solve a problem creatively?
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.

Interview
Multi-staged interview process with. multiple levels of conversation with different stakeholders. Interviews stretched over the course of 5 months with gaps in between. Received good updates in-between. Very competitive with a lot of applicants.
Lovely and respectful interview process. I did not ultimately get the role, but felt cared for throughout, and was kept in mind for future roles. The interview helped me prepare for future interviews.
