Interview process was standard and brief. Round 1 consisted of interviewing with the hiring manager, and round 2 was a panel interview with 4-5 other employees. Questions were standard. The hiring manager was a joy to speak with and even was kind enough to have a follow up conversation with me to answer more of my questions, given the brevity of the interview process. The worst part about the interview process at FA was the HR team, unfortunately. At the top of the process, HR asked if I would be okay with the salary being in the mid to high 80s range, despite the listing saying the role tops out at 98k. I agreed that salary could be discussed at a later point. Upon getting my offer, I asked questions in regards to the financial health of the org, and was told they were very healthy, have a contingency plan for the next handful of years, and that they are the second largest non-profit in America. When I asked if it were possible to be compensated more, given that the salary offer was 15k below the bottom number within the non-profit industry salary range for my experience level and cost of living in Chicago, HR chuckled and 1) asked where I got this salary range info (it is public information on Glassdoor and elsewhere) 2) said they were undergoing salary band equity consultation (yikes) 3) said that's why she was trying to be transparent in the upfront of the interview process. I was under the impression that A) the salary range capped out at 98k, per the original listing, which is a huge lack of transparency and B) that they would at least give me an offer in the mid to high 80k range, as they stated. At that point, HR did not want to budge, I'm sure because of my persistence to be compensated fairly for a managerial role. The team seems wonderful and passionate about the work. Overall, the organization seems pleasant, but HR is typically a big indicator of how the org is run overall.
