I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at The Wallace Foundation in Mar 2024
Interview
Multiple rounds with an in-person interview in the NYC offices. Very open process and highly communicative. Made it to the final round and did not receive an offer. The first few rounds were virtual with a day-long multi-person interview in the NYC office.

I applied online. I interviewed at The Wallace Foundation (New York, NY)
Interview
Kindest interview process I have experienced. They are gracious people. The interview process consisted of two online interviews and an all-day in person interview - met 12+ people and spoke to the recruiter numerous times over 3+ months.

Question 1
They seemed most interested in understanding the interviewee's experience with and approach to conflict management. The office is trying to work on cultural change to be less averse to conflict.
Met with several staff over the course of 6 hours. Zoom fatigue was a challenge but the opportunity motivated me to carry forward. I met with an array of people across multiple focus areas: finance, communications, research, program, and the president himself.

Question 1
Many! But they it all orbited around grant management and personal attributes.
