I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at World Learning
Interview
This company was Red Flags R Us. I also don't know where the POC were but I sure didn't see any during the interview process so I definitely saw what people here meant by the lack of diversity. For this job, the low 42k salary and nature of work seems to attract privileged upper/middle class (white from what I saw) people who don't have college loans, have help from their parents, and/or very little in college debt. A few of the red flags I noticed: they said even if a worker had experience with a country, they purposely didn't have that person work on that country. The way the management answered some of the questions regarding reviews here. The lack of diversity. The similarity of the people working there. The salary. The lack of upward mobility. Also, other NGOs/nonprofits I interviewed with said before the interview process something along the lines of 'I'm sorry but unfortunately we don't offer relocation assistance, is that okay with you?' whereas here I had to ask the interviewers about relocation as it was automatically assumed you'd be moving on your own dime for a 42k salary; I know that moving on your own is standard with most NGOS but I like that others had the courtesy of letting people know and not making that automatic assumption. I ended up signing with another NGO with nicer employees offering 9k more before I heard back from them.

I applied online. I interviewed at World Learning in Oct 2019
Interview
Straightforward interview process with standard questions for an administrative support position. I had an in-person interview with a manager and one mid-level employee. The interview lasted for about 30 minutes and was followed up by a short writing exam.
