I interviewed at American Red Cross (Boston, MA) in Mar 2023
Interview
I had an initial phone screening which went well. The facilitator requested I complete an online application that I could expect to hear back about next steps. I never heard back, reached back out three weeks later for an update and no response. I understand that I could of not been the best fit for the role or that went with other candidates but any response would have been greatly appreciated.

Question 1
This was a very general and simple phone screening: Tell me about yourself? What interested you in the position? what are your salary expectations?
I applied through other source. I interviewed at American Red Cross in Mar 2026
Interview
Initial phone screening followed by virtual interview. Both were pleasant and the hiring team were welcoming and laid back. I felt they did not schedule enough time for the interview with the number of questions they expected me to answer and didn't get to them all. At the end the Hiring Manager said they aimed to follow up with all candidates within three business days. I never heard anything from anyone after that. I did not follow up both because I felt the job was not a good fit, and also because I though it was a good test for how well organized they are, especially given some of the unfavorable reviews from employees. Not getting the courtesy of a response after nearly two hours of interviews confirmed for me they were not a good fit after all.

Question 1
First question: "Tell me about yourself." Also, "Are you sure you are ok with the listed salary?" This signals to me that the listed salary is below market.
Applied online, and then received a response from the recruiter. After recruiter and I spoke, I spoke to the hiring manager. After that, there were 2 more interviews. Overall, the process took about 3 months.
