Washington, DC Economic Partnership interview questions

Started with a few phone interviews: 1) hiring manager 2) Marketing Comma Director at the time 3) CEO Then I was brought in for an in-person interview, a couple of one on ones with the hiring manager again, and a few other members of the team. Finally was brought in a third time for a full team interview where the CEO was wildly disengaged and on his phone the whole time...it probably would have been better if he didn’t join or excused himself. There was a huge hurry up and wait process (rushed the interview process, some where they did multiple interviews a week), then radio silent for weeks. Eventually they circled back, with an offer we negotiated back and forth until we mutually decided it probably wasn’t the best fit. Great org, they do great things for the city, but some internal processes to work out.

The interview was process was straightforward. Prior to speaking with anyone I was asked to answer 12 questions in paragraph form. I found the questions a bit repetitive, but it seems they are just trying to screen effectively. The interview was fine and the organization seems very formal. They are proud of their offerings and collaboration with the board members, but there does seem to be room for new programs and ideas.
