I applied online, and received an interview invitation several weeks later. I went to their office for the interview and noticed many red flags - the interview itself gave me the impression that they are very disorganized and overworked. There was no greeting or direction at the lobby. They were running over 30 minutes late and never told me. I sat there and listened to the entire interview for the candidate ahead of me, watching her through the clear glass of their conference room right next to the lobby. When her interview was done, she left and no one came to get me. I watched the interviewer leave - she walked passed me without a word. Finally, a long time later, she came back to me very flustered. I had to help her set up her laptop again in the conference room and connect with the program director [who was off-site]. The interviewer was inexperienced with setting up video conference calls and I had to do it for her, all the while trying to introduce myself and talk to her about my experience. When we finally connected with the program director, she only asked me a couple questions. I know that I answered them very strongly - I was overqualified for the position. The interviewer didn't have my CV or cover letter in front of her, so I had to give her a copy. I expected her to ask me to reschedule the interview given all the technical difficulties, but she did not. I was rushed out of the room after only 20 minutes, with the interviewer telling me that she hadn't had lunch yet that day. The candidate before me had nearly an hour with the interviewer, and they didn't ask me any of the questions they had asked her. I never heard back after the interview, which was just as well because I wouldn't want to work for an organization that treats an interviewee in this way. I should add that I am an alumnus of SIT, and a donor to World Learning, so I was very disappointed by this experience.

I applied online and was contacted for an interview about 1.5 week later. I interviewed with two members of the hiring team. One week following the interview, I was asked to complete a case study exercise. The HR team checked my references (using a very lengthy questionnaire). Then, a few days after that, I was informed via email from HR that the position was closed. This was the most frustrating part, that they checked multiple references but did not make an offer or even contact me personally (the email from HR seemed to be automatically generated).
