I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at URJ
Interview
Meet with recruiter, hiring manager, heads of dept.
First 2 interviews were great. Pay is low but it's a nonprofit. Third interview was a joke- guy seemed more interested in quizzing about every possible aspect of public relations, drilling candidate for 56 minutes straight, asking questions that were well above and beyond what the JD laid out. I could do this job in my sleep. This guy was a nightmare from the start and if I didn't need a job I would've just closed my laptop after ten minutes. Rude, cut me off constantly, asked questions without having looked at my resume at all and expected experience at a senior level when this is the most junior level in the dept. Bizarre person. Easily dodged a bullet there.

Question 1
What experience do you have dealing with the c-suite?
Very easy and informal. Consisted of two interviews with standard questions for the most part. Looking for alignment with core values and the ability to work in an ambiguous environment.
I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at URJ (New York, NY) in Feb 2016
Interview
had 1 phone interview with HR, 3 in-person interviews, 1 project assignment, and 1 interview with the direct supervisor of the position. I found the process to be much more intensive than any other similar position at other companies. That said, I wound up being hired for a different position that was a new role, so that may have contributed to the length and rigor of my interview process.
