I interviewed at Environmental Defense Fund (Washington, DC)
Interview
One interview with behaviorals and asking further about knowledge related to the IRA, climate policy, and how companies should think about the climate transition plans. Not anything out of the ordinary.

Question 1
Tell me why you are interested in a role in climate policy and how companies interact with climate policy?
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Environmental Defense Fund (Saratoga Springs, NY) in Oct 2025
Interview
Submitted application with a referral from a colleague and was offered a phone interview with the hiring manager less than 2 weeks later. Following that was an hour long interview with leadership and then a 30 minute presentation + Q&A with the larger science team. Overall very thorough but pleasant process. Definitely requires some research and homework throughout!
