I applied online via the JPAL/IPA common application. Everyone was very friendly, but the hiring process was very disorganized - it felt completely ad hoc. I had many many interviews (10+) with, often, the same people again, but in different combinations. This negatively affected my impression of IPA's administration. The marginal added value of each interview just plummeted, and - at each stage - I was given the impression that *this* was the last stage.
