What started out with great communication turned into a surprisingly unprofessional experience. TNTP's website outlines the stages of their selection process as follows: 1) submit a resume and cover letter online; if they like that, 2) spend 2-3 days completing a written assignment; if they like that 3) participate in at least one phone interview; and finally 4) meet the team in person. Clearly this is a substantial investment of time for a working professional exploring the possibility of partnering with TNTP. Further, the position for which I was a candidate reports to company leadership: this is not a low-level job. I should think that my own professionalism would be matched by TNTP's, and that my follow-through into stage 3 would earn me something more than a form letter indicating that another candidate was preferred -- and only after I reached out to inquire about next steps a full week after a decision was promised. As was recommended to me for my own continued growth, I asked for a bit more detail on how it was determined that I was not a good fit, and that inquiry was met with silence. Approximately a week after that, I discovered that the job was still posted to TNTP's website and asked if my information would be retained by TNTP in case their first choice fell through. Again, not a word. So in the end, I came away with the thought that TNTP cares about SOUNDING like they value people, but it doesn't take much surface scratching to reveal something different. Better not to have received an offer, then, as this is definitely a red flag.
