I applied through college or university. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at World Bank Group (Washington, DC) in Dec 2014
Interview
I had a short interview, less than 20 minutes. The supervisor picked me up at the door and went through my resume. We talked briefly about my previous experience and jumped right into discussing the project and what my role would be. We spoke about how my research background relates and what my policy recommendations would be in case of certain eventualities that may affect the project.
One round of interview. Go over your resume. Several BQs. And asking you coding / technical skills. Writing/Coding sample after the interview. Straightforward and chill. Much better than rounds of back and forth interviews in the private sector
The first round was a panel with 4 different people from the unit. The second round is with the hiring manager. Communication was clear. Some hard questions, some easy expected questions.
