I wanted to anonymously (for obvious reasons) share this article by Vox. "Job interviews are a nightmare - and only getting worse"
The strenuous, drawn out, and impersonal interview process described in this article is exactly what I have experience attempting to apply to EA jobs. Dozens of interviews and countless trials over weeks and weeks of not hearing back or knowing what is next. I am sharing this article today to draw the EA community to this issue in the hopes that more consideration can one day be given to applicants.
Thank you.
Sorry you had this experience. I would love it if you named and shamed the specific orgs! It would be a public service.
It all depends who you get; I had a good experience with 80,000 Hours' trial, because the person running the hiring campaign tried to keep us in the loop as much as possible - even telling me how many other candidates were still in the running at each stage. That was great because it helped set my expectations.
Credit to Bella Forristal for that. Yay transparency!
Which are the orgs with a rubbish application experience, if you can say without de-anonymising yourself?
