I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at World Bank Group (Washington, DC) in Oct 2011
Interview
Was easy. No curve balls - just straightforward stuff. This could be because it was for a short-term contract. Perhaps the interviews for full-time positions are more challenging. I just can't say. One thing to note is that they like individuals who thrive in a multi-cultural environment, which makes sense given the diverse, global workforce.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Asked about how prior experience matched with job requirements and about my desired work culture .
One round of interview. Go over your resume. Several BQs. And asking you coding / technical skills. Writing/Coding sample after the interview. Straightforward and chill. Much better than rounds of back and forth interviews in the private sector
The first round was a panel with 4 different people from the unit. The second round is with the hiring manager. Communication was clear. Some hard questions, some easy expected questions.
