Anonymous Interview Candidate in Buenos Aires
I applied online. I interviewed at Greenpeace (Buenos Aires)

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Greenpeace (London, England) in Oct 2022
Comprised of two interviews. 1. Easy Technical exercise. General interview with tech team. 2. Interview with stakeholders/manager. Relatively easy. A few vague questions, which might allow someone less good technically to get the job merely because of how well they can talk.
