I applied online. I interviewed at International House London in Apr 2025
Interview
The first two stages were smooth, with interviewers who were warm and engaging, and the scope of the role sounded genuinely interesting. The organisation’s mission is strong and clearly meaningful, which initially made the opportunity appealing.
However, the final interview round fell flat. It lacked energy and felt rushed, as if the interviewers just wanted to get through it. There was noticeably less warmth or enthusiasm compared to earlier stages. After the interview, I had to follow up just to get a decision, otherwise, it seemed I wouldn’t have heard anything back.
The experience left me with the sense that while the company’s purpose is commendable, the hiring process could be improved to better reflect those values and attract strong talent. The salary was on the lower end as well (£37,000) for such role.
