I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at NRDC (Chicago, IL) in Jul 2021
Interview
The interview is pretty straightforward asking standard behavioral questions and questions related to the job requirements. They will want to know about your subject knowledge and admin skills. They also value event planning skills.
The interview process was 3 rounds - the first was with the hiring manager, the second with someone on the team, and the third was a four person panel including the original hiring manager. My qualm with this process was that it took around 2 months to complete

I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at NRDC (San Francisco, CA) in Mar 2022
Interview
The first step of the process started with a phone call with an HR officer where we talked more about the position, some of my skills, and my interest in the position. A second interview was scheduled a few weeks later with two people whom the PA would be working closely with. This 2nd interview was very conversational and had many questions that allowed me discuss my background, experience, and possible ways I might contribute. A 3rd and final panel interview was set up for the following week, which included the majority of the team the PA would be working with as well as another admin, a PA from a different department, and the HR officer from before as a moderator.
