I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at New America (Washington, DC) in May 2019
Interview
Phone Interview - they honestly stuck to basic questions. They did ask for me to send a writing sample during the interview, but that could be because I emphasized that I had prior writing experience. Very friendly.
Also, there was no in person interview, but that could be because I was out-of-state.
The interview was friendly, the person was nice who I interviewed with and overall it was a good experience. The vibe was relatively informal, but smart where the interviewer expected me to understand the type of organization they were and how they differed from other organizations.
They reached out to me for a short phone screening with the manager. I was notified soon after that I would advance to the second phone interview with additional team members. It was around 15 minutes total. I received a response about a week later.
Interviewed for a summer internship. Fairly straightforward, asked the standard interview questions. Had a first round interview with the hiring manager and second round with several members of the department. Both were over the phone. Received a timely response.
