I applied online. I interviewed at World Bank Group in Jan 2021
Interview
I applied online in the early January 2021 and interviewed virtually 3 weeks later. It was a panel interview with 3 employees in the team. They used Webex from Cisco instead of Zoom, which was new to me. It seems like they had many applicants and many interviews.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How do you manage your time in the face of multiple tasks in a short time?
One round of interview. Go over your resume. Several BQs. And asking you coding / technical skills. Writing/Coding sample after the interview. Straightforward and chill. Much better than rounds of back and forth interviews in the private sector
The first round was a panel with 4 different people from the unit. The second round is with the hiring manager. Communication was clear. Some hard questions, some easy expected questions.

Question 1
If you were in an elevator with the Bank's President, how would you pitch him to give our unit more funding?
I interviewed at World Bank Group (Washington, DC)
Interview
Pretty standard-behavioral & technical. Depends on the role you’re applying for so know the technicalities of it. I applied for a social protection role that involves use of ai for research- so the knowledge of using ai and of the subject matter was helpful.

Depends on the role you applied for but “walk us through the process of how you would …”
