Trust for Public Land interview questions

Initial phone screen with HR -> panel interview with the program team. Very quick, streamlined process from initial outreach to final offer. All were very warm, welcoming, and helpful throughout the hiring process.

TPL handled this interview process with an immense lack of respect for my time, energy, and money as a final-round candidate, which was especially disappointing given their reputation. It was a three-round interview process. In the second round, I asked what their onboarding process is for new employees, and one of my interviewers laughed and said there is none, and I will have to essentially learn by myself. Regardless, I advanced to the final round interview, which was "in-person" in their SF office. I was told to bring my computer because I would be meeting some of my interviewers in the office, and others would be Zoom-ing in. The hiring team knew I lived almost two hours away, and they gave me information for a parking garage near the office. So, on the day of the interview, I drove almost two hours, paid $20 in parking, and went into their office to find it almost empty. I was directed to an empty room and asked to take out my laptop so I could Zoom the hiring team, some of whom were in the same city but chose not to come into the office for this meeting. I received no acknowledgement or apology for making me commute for a virtual interview, nor did they offer to reimburse me for parking. During the interview, there was a clear lack of preparation or interest on their part; there were many awkward silences as they had no questions for me, and they kept asking me to ask THEM questions. I left the interview and received a condescending rejection e-mail two hours later. So to sum, the hiring team made me drive almost 4 hours round trip and pay for my gas and (costly) parking, just to bait-and-switch me into a virtual interview for a position that they clearly had already filled. If you are applying for the SF office, I recommend you not let them waste your time and money like they did mine.
