The interview process at the Gates Foundation is pretty lengthy and some times frustrating. On an average there are 8-12 interview rounds. It can anywhere between 6 to 8 months to get a offer post you have applied for the job. The interviewers seem not to be aligned on the job requirements. It is advisable to ask as many questions as possible. Ask specific question on what to expect in terms of performance expectations, stakeholders, career growth and culture of the organisation.

Spoke to a recruiter, had initial conversations with two employees then a two-person interview. Very little follow-up, was told I would hear back in a week, and heard back only after I requested information a month later.
