I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Planned Parenthood (Pittsburgh, PA) in Oct 2020
Interview
Thorough and to the point. This was a school internship so the interviewer was looking for someone who had interest in mental Health, LGBT rights, and reproductive health. Interview was over zoom and I received a call back fairly quickly.
I applied online. I interviewed at Planned Parenthood (Washington, DC) in Sep 2021
Interview
The interviewer was late to the call, and emailed me 5-minutes after the fact to tell me they would be late. The call felt extremely rushed, and at times I was interrupted and prodded to answer more directly (AKA - get to the point.) There wasn't any room for conversation and I could get the sense that the interviewer was feeling rushed.
I was also put off by the fact that the questions were very much along the lines of "What can you do for US?" and never was I given a chance to ask any questions about what the role might entail or what they could do for me. Once the woman was done asking questions, she practically hung up on me. I know PP is considered a "prestigious" org. to work at, but the ego of their brand was very much informing the questions at hand, which were uninspired in my opinion.
I never heard from them again after the phone call. Overall, one of the more unprofessional experiences I've had interviewing somewhere.
