International Development Group interview questions

It was strange. They contacted me on LinkedIn and via email and every request needed an immediate response or they would do it again. They did not schedule interviews; they just called randomly. Then because the process was not transparent, when I expressed confusion and hesitation they shamed me for leading them on. They also did not provide details about benefits. I did accept because I liked the role, but I found the entire process unnerving.

I applied for a vacancy advertised on their website and was contacted by a recruiter. We did an initial phone screening, and I was invited for an in-person interview at their Arlington office off of N. Glebe Road. I live out of the area, and they were unable to accommodate a Skype interview/video call. Their office was nice, and everyone I dealt with was friendly and seemed down to earth. Before my interview, the recruiter briefed me on what to discuss. I then interviewed with a senior manager, and a second individual phoned in, who was based outside of the DC area. Interview was conversational, and afterward the recruiter debriefed me. Received a generic "we're moving ahead with other candidates" e-mail about a week and a half later.
