I applied online. I interviewed at World Food Programme (Nairobi) in Dec 2020
Interview
I applied online they contacted me via text and then a phone call. They gave me an assignment then after that an online interview with 3 panellists. The interview lasted about 30 mins.

Question 1
They asked questions about the assignment, like how you came up with the concept and take us through your process.
Not bad. Strict security procedures at the entrance. Went for the pre interview testing. Started later that in was announced. One weird/interesting thing happened during the test. One girl had joined the testing, late. Pretty late, almost half way through. Not sure if it was legit or not, but doesn't seem right to me. Also the test hand outs were collected manually, though we did write number codes instead of our names on hand out papers, all the our answers were in the open. It was only one lady conducting the testing. I think it should have been some kind of committee, where it were at least 2 people, or anything that would have been imposing at least a little bit of transparency.
Was offered a virtual interview but it was a slow process - took a long time to get it organised and to hear anything back. Interview itself had a small task followed by questions. The interviewers weren’t great - they didn’t ask any follow up questions to what I said, and all spent a lot of the interview taking notes.

How would you describe the World Food Programme to someone who hadn’t heard of us?
