Friendly HR interview, then there was a delay as several members of the team were out. However, follow up interviews were quick and informative once scheduled. I received an offer pretty quickly that was competitive. The only drawback is the time off package isn’t as competitive as other organizations in D.C, but the salary and remote policy make up for this.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
My experience, project management approach, communications style, dealing with customers
I interviewed at Jefferson Consulting Group (Washington, DC)
Interview
Very pleasant experience. I first spoke to an HR professional who provided more information about the expectations for the job and asked standard questions to determine my fit. In the second phase, I was interviewed by an experienced international development professional who wanted to know more about my energy access project experience. I was shortlisted for the final interview, which will not be with Jefferson Consulting. I don't know what the outcome will be.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Jefferson Consulting Group
Interview
I had an initial phone screen. The person I spoke with assured me that they would get back to me, because they are “not in the habit of ghosting candidates”. But over a week went by and I had not heard anything. I reached out via email asking for an update and they told me that they hadn’t received feedback yet but would get back to me and I never heard from them again. It’s frustrating to go out of your way to say that you don’t ghost candidates but then do exactly that. The communication was lacking and overall the process felt disrespectful. It did not give me a good impression of the company.
