Interview
Met virtually with the hiring manager, then a panel interview with the department. Learned background on APTA and then Q&A session, and was allowed to ask some questions of my own.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at American Public Transportation Association (Washington, DC) in Sep 2018
Interview
It was an easy process. They brought me in, explained my background, they didn't ask me questions it was more of a conversation. The whole interview took 1 hour. They were both friendly and inviting.

Interview
I applied online and was invited to interview a few days later. The interview itself was straightforward and pleasant - just an informal conversation with the hiring manager, who brought a list of questions and took notes as we chatted.
The main issue was with the follow-up, of which there was absolutely zero. I contacted both the hiring manager and the HR representative directly after the interview, and I followed up with each a couple of times in the following weeks. There was not a single response to any outreach attempt. I eventually happened to notice that the position had been removed from APTA's career site and just assumed I wasn't selected...but honestly, who knows? The lack of updates from the organization was disappointing and unprofessional, and I'm not sure I'd want to work for an organization that can't even manage its hiring process.

Question 1
The conversation revolved around experience and education. There weren't any real cliche or difficult questions.
