I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Environmental Defense Fund (San Francisco, CA) in Feb 2018
Interview
The 3rd party interviews for EDF. The first interviewer was a senior in the company and was very friendly. The second interviewer was more to the point. However, I think the first one was the important one, and in the second interview, they were evaluating the first phase options.

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Environmental Defense Fund (Washington, DC)
Interview
I had two interviews. The first was an initial screening with my direct supervisor, which was very painless and casual. Pretty soon after this, she reached out and asked if I wanted to interview with the team. Panel interviews can be daunting, but they were very friendly and made me feel comfortable. The overall interview --> hiring process was super quick and efficient.
