The interview process was one of the worst I've had, which is unfortunate because I have a lot of respect for the person I know who works on a different team there. First, I had a phone call with a recruiter and a zoom meeting with the hiring manager and a team member. Then I completed an assignment and then met once more with the hiring manager and a director. It took two months for them to complete this process and each time they told me to reach out to the recruiter with any questions. However, when I tried to email her, I never got a direct response. During the interviews, the hiring manager would make negative faces, whenever I mentioned how my experience growing up inspired my desire to work in the social impact field. Then after over two weeks past the time they told me they were going to make a decision, I reached out to the recruiter for an update, and she didn't respond directly to my email but miraculously about 30 minutes later I got an automated email that they had already selected someone else. Overall, it was a process that was very dismissive and inconsiderate of people's time and effort.

Third Plateau has a highly structured, multi-stage interviewing process that is designed to minimize bias. Though I ended up not being hired, I liked everyone with whom I interacted and I appreciated the spirit of their hiring process.
