I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at George Washington University (Washington, DC) in Jun 2019
Interview
Initially the interview process was very smooth. The managing director, accounting manager, and previous program coordinator who I would be replacing were all extremely friendly and seemed very transparent. I first had a skype interview with two people, and it was more of a low key conversation to get to know each other. Then, I was invited for an in person interview in DC. The in person interview was with the same two people I skyped with, plus an financial manager. We discussed a few more financial and accounting responsibilities, but again the process seemed very conversational and comfortable.
I was provided an offer a week later. I asked for 24 hours to think it over and came back with a counter offer. My initial thoughts were that our interactions were so comfortable and my conversations with the hiring manager seemed so flexible and transparent that having a conversation about negotiating an offer would be totally OK. I was wrong. Two days after I sent a counter offer, I got a letter rescinding my offer. There was no explanation; it was just an email with two sentences saying they were going in a different direction. When I asked for further explanation, I was given none. I understand this was totally in their right but I felt like not even being allowed to have a conversation about salary offers seemed rather extreme.
In today's society, as women, we are taught to never accept the first offer and to always negotiate. I would have thought that a higher educational institution would have promoted this idea. The beginning of this entire experience was great; however I found the end of the process to be extremely unprofessional and rather embarrassing for GW.

Would not discuss salary range and acted offended when I asked. The job posting I applied for did not have a salary, apparently, they had previously posted the position and that time it did have a salary range.
