I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Pachamama Alliance
Interview
There were multiple rounds of interviews and one exercise to complete. I realize they were trying to be thorough and ensure that only the best candidate was selected.
There were red flags galore in the process.
Asking a candidate to provide free work for a live campaign is unethical. Pay the person for their time; you shouldn't have to be told this.
Leaving huge sections of responsibilities out of the job description and grilling the candidate on these skills is a huge red flag. We aren't always prepared to talk about everything. Do I have the experience? I do. Do I know your system or the current best practices? Maybe not.
Intricately detailed processes accompanying a huge cross-section of responsibilities but paying very little, even for a nonprofit, is a red flag.
Expecting perfection in the role is a red flag, as is not allowing time to learn the role.
I have sat on both sides of the interview table many, many times. This process was a mess. After the last round, I was absolutely not interested.
Friendly, conversational, mission driven, initial rounds focused on candidate values and adaptability, 4-5 rounds (including 1 technical interview and 1 in-person interview with team), focused on long-term goals and alignment with organization
I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Pachamama Alliance (San Francisco, CA) in Jan 2019
Interview
First, they said they weren't looking, then they said they will accept my application after 3 months. No response after a month, offer again a interview in person, then by phone. Then did not reply, mistake my last name. More questions about yourself and reactions.
