I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at CEF (Fort Lee, NJ) in Jul 2024
Interview
Overall, it was one of the most disappointing interview processes I’ve experienced. It felt as though the company was taking advantage of the urgency and vulnerability that often comes with J-1 internship applicants.
The hiring timeline dragged on for nearly two months, with repeated delays and a lack of clear communication regarding final decisions. The attitude of some interviewers came across as dismissive or disengaged, and the overall communication throughout the process left much to be desired.
I hope other J-1 applicants can read this and avoid missing out on better opportunities due to unclear or drawn-out processes like this. There is significant room for improvement in how candidates are treated and how the process is managed.
