I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at General Assembly (Chicago, IL) in Jan 2019
Interview
Interview process was relatively easy, unstructured, a bit disjointed, and didn't offer much opportunity for me to genuinely get to know the organization and the role. I would have appreciated a chance to ask more granular questions, and have conversations specifically designed to bring me along in what the role actually looked and felt like. A recruiter did not walk me through the process, instead it was the site director who served as the "recruiter" of my experience (I assume he was also a decision-maker, which can make for some tougher conversations around negotiating the offer). There was no signposting of the stages, I just showed up the stages of conversations as they were scheduled. There were more informal, institutional knowledge-sharing style conversations once I signed the offer, which in retrospect, were critical conversations I should have dug into before signing the offer.
