I applied online. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at OECD in May 2026
Interview
It took a very long time to get to the interview stage (around 5 months). There were three people on the panel who were all nice and engaging. They asked an interesting mix of technical and competency based questions. Still awaiting a response.
The process started with a written exam (of approximately 2 hours), covering technical knowledge and written capabilities. This was followed by a panel interview with at least 4 different people. At least one question in French. Total process length 4 months

Question 1
Question on the topic of interest, questions about the written exam (how did you approach it and why), and competency questions
It was one round with two members from the team - pretty conversational and informal. Asked me about my CV, behavioral questions like strengths/weaknesses and how I managed to resolve conflict or difficult situations
