Spoke with a recruiter at an MBA job conference and applied online following this conversation. My application was rejected approximately three weeks later. The recruiter was very helpful in answering my questions.

Average interview
Application
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at World Bank Group (Amman)
Interview
Long process, as long as you are in the loop feedback will be delivered but then even when reaching the final interview after succeeding multiple stages, if they don't want you, you will be ghosted.
I applied online. I interviewed at World Bank Group (Washington, DC)
Interview
Quite straightforward process, panel interview with 7 interviewers for the first round and a 1-to-1 interview with a department head for the 2nd round of interview. Average difficulty and nice people in general.
