Initially, I was VERY excited about working for this company. However, the interview process is discouraging to say the least. I applied for the position and was emailed the very same day to complete a "hiring exercise". The exercise was ambiguous, but I figured it out rather quickly. While the company website says it takes 4 hours to complete, it took me FOUR DAYS. I as willing to take on this task as the the position was EXACTLY what I was looking for. I submitted my exercise and received an email the following day saying that it was received and I would hear back from someone shortly. Five days later at 10pm I get an email saying that my file had been handed over to another TNTP employee and I would be contacted at the end of the week. Friday at 6pm I receive an email saying that I would not be moving on in the hiring process. I urge all applicants to go into the TNTP hiring process aware of the company's protocol. I honestly found the exercise fruitless and discouraging. Such poor hiring practices for a company doing meaningful work in the community. It's truly sad to see such a great company overshadowed by their poor interview process.

About two weeks after submitting application, I received an invite to complete an assignment. There was no indication about how long they thought it would take but it took me four full days - probably 40-50 hours. I don't see how you could do a good job putting in fewer than 20 hours and thats if you knew powerpoint and excel thoroughly. But I liked the project and had the time to put into it so I found it helpful but overkill. There are other projects that could have been designed to get the same result without taking up a ridiculous amount of time and potentially leaving candidates to feel bitter and annoyed. After turning in the assignment, I received an invite for a phone interview about a week later. The phone interview went okay - pretty standard questions. About four days later I received an update letting me know the hiring committee was still working on next steps and shortly after that I was told that they found a candidate who fit their needs better but encouraged me to apply for other open positions and that they would be back in touch if the same position reopened. Overall, TNTP is very professional, courteous, and great at communicating with candidates to keep them updated. It def made me more interested in pursuing opportunities with them in the future.
