I applied through an employee referral. The process took 7 weeks. I interviewed at GitHub in Jun 2021
Interview
I went through 5 interviews and an overly long writing sample / quiz. The first interviews with an EA and a chief of staff were good and they seemed interested in my background and asked good questions and shared info. The interviews with the 2 people I would support were not so good. They really didn't ask me anything. I had to figure out how to interject my experience into the conversation as they talked about their org and things they hoped the EA could help with. Neither had much experience having an EA before so that is probably why. Everyone was nice and the process was communicated well but I didn't feel like I really had a chance to show what I could do. I still have a positive feeling about the company as everyone I met had been there many years and seemed passionate about the work and the company culture.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at GitHub in Sep 2024
Interview
The interview process was fairly quick. I met with the recruiter, who ran through my resume, and then two weeks later, I met with two different executive assistants. I was told on Thursday they would be holding the last round of interviews on Monday/Tuesday with an offer on Wednesday. I followed up with the recruiter on Monday who emailed later in the day to let me know they wouldn't be moving forward. I thought the interviews went really well, but there was no feedback on why they weren't moving forward.

A very nice experience. I didn’t get the job but the interviewer was very kind and gave me a lot of details about company benefits. She listened and was attentive.
