Friendly, not very interrogative general questions re CV. Poor feedback and poor response after interview I had a long wait and was just met with an automatic message. Casual chat afterwards which was noteworthy.

After I applied I received an email asking me to complete a task of work for them. I did complete the task and a few days later I was told the position has closed, for lack of funds. The task was 2h of research, with AI unauthorised, a policy brief, and recommendations for the company, both in English and a second language. It looks like the position didn’t exist in the first place and this was the opportunity to have applicants work for free. Avoid.
