      Program Assistant Interview

      7 Aug 2024
      Anonymous employee
      Seattle, WA
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Gates Foundation (Seattle, WA) in Aug 2022

      Interview

      situational and behavioral questions. Did 5 interviews with team members, team leader and program director. They are about 45 mins each. It took a bit to hear back. Go prepared but don’t over prepare. Be yourself and bring the heart behind your work.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Tell me about a time when you had to work on a project and had to delegate a lot of the work without having full control?

      Program Assistant Interview

      5 May 2023
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Gates Foundation in Apr 2023

      Interview

      The process started off with the HM questioning why I would think I even belonged at the Foundation, due to my "confusing" background. I have a very diverse work history. She said "hopefully" I can figure out what it is I want to do. I was surprised I was moved to the final round of interviews after this. The final round consisted of 5 interviews lasting 30-45 mins. The hiring team was fine, but at times implied they were better and smarter than I was. I did my best to answer their questions with real examples and followed the STAR method. I followed up with the recruiter multiple times over 3 weeks with no reply. Finally, a manager reached out to me to let me know that particular recruiter didn't work there anymore, and I wasn't selected to move forward anyway. I would never interview here again after the way I was treated by recruiting and this particular hiring team in general. I wasted a lot of time and energy to be treated as "less than" by the hiring team and ghosted by recruiting.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Gates Foundation in Apr 2023

      Interview

      Took months and went through long and very time-consuming interviews only for them to be incredibly unresponsive and basically ghost me. They are so inconsiderate of your time (took time off work for this).
