Reached out pretty quick after submitting my app but several steps in the interview process, and it took several weeks
Writing and language tests, and I met with several different team members
I applied online. The process took 6 months. I interviewed at Freedom House (Washington, DC) in Jan 2024
Interview
Very lengthy process, as is the case with all of these agencies in DC. All grant-funded agencies are reliant on DC's political cycles, so brace for that.
The work sems incredibly interesting and the people in the organization are very committed and professional, but the hiring culture is frustrating and lengthy.
