Wikimedia Foundation review
From the very moment you apply to the Wikimedia Foundation, you can tell this non-profit is something special. The interview process was cordial and efficient. The values within the Foundation are strong, and this permeates across the whole organization. The leadership and talent overall is outstanding. The Foundation's mission to make knowledge accessible really seems to drive the motivation of the people I've met within.
The interview process is competitive, with people applying from all over the world!
