It took lots of follow up to get a response from the Director of Programs. I met this that person and then a panel of five interviewers who were on staff.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell us about a time where you dealt with conflict.
Zoom interview with two Byte Back staff members. Very relaxed and welcoming, asked scenario questions and about my motivations for why I wanted to work for Byte Back. Gave me time to ask my own questions at the end and gave very thorough answers. Seemed like they wanted to help me grow in any way that I can.

Question 1
What were your motivations for applying to Byte Back?
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Byte Back (Washington, DC) in Jan 2018
Interview
The interview process included 3 interviews and 1 exercise.
The first is a phone screening performed by a member of the Operations team.
Second, is the exercise in which you're provided with a scenario, parameters and asked to expand on how you'd would take that on and outcomes you anticipate.
The third, is an in person interview with a hiring resource (an executive or managerial level person). This might also be performed as a panel interview with multiple staff members.
The final interview includes an example of your skills in use for the position. This might include creating a presentation. This final interview is also panel style, typically held with senior staff members, including the executive director.
PROS: The interview process was streamlined really well from an operation perspective. You can tell, they leverage technology to automate much of these processes.
CONS: My sense was that there was a lot going on at the organization, and unfortunately, this created some gaps in communication and confusion. So, make sure you're as explicit as possible in your communication and expectations.
