I applied online. I interviewed at Strada Education Foundation in May 2025

The interview was a 30 minute Zoom call with structured behavioral questions. The interviewer was professional but rapid fire. Feedback was minimal, and the process felt more screening than conversation.
I applied online. The process took 8 months. I interviewed at Strada Education Foundation
Interview
I interviewed with them as a Ph.D. candidate for a permanent researcher position beginning the next summer. They made me a verbal job offer, which I accepted. They failed to send the written offer for several months, making up various excuses and assuring me everything was progressing normally. They then withdrew the offer without cause, sending me unexpectedly back into a much worse job market.

I interviewed at Strada Education Foundation (Washington, DC) in Feb 2025
Interview
Had to submit a video responding to a few questions, then met for a 30ish minute interview with one person and then made it to a panel interview round with 4 people. Questions were fairly straightforward but some in the panel interview felt redundant of earlier rounds and others a bit convoluted.
