I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at IFPRI in Feb 2021
Interview
Sent in an application and then I was contacted and asked to send in recommndations. After a few days, I was asked to complete a Stata exercise. The next week, they set up a behavioral interview with 4 members of the department, then a short HR interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
During the behavioral interview they asked me questions about my experience in survey developments/ programming, data analysis, etc. I was also asked why I wanted to work with them and why I liked this position. The interviewers also described their recent projects and invited me to ask questions about that.
The HR interview was much shorter. I was asked some basic questions about my experience then they used the rest of the time to describe IFPRI's offered benefits, the role compensation, etc.
The interview was seamless and in order, It lasted for about 40 minutes. They asked me some good questions. it was a good experience overall. The interview medium was Microsoft Teams.

Question 1
Data Analytics, Economics, Agriculture and introduction.
The team (3 people) was very friendly. The interview lasted for about an hour and was not very technical. They presented their work and asked regular interview questions. Team working seemed to be important. I enjoyed discussing with them.
