•First and foremost, I am Neurodivergent, and engaging in a interview is not a small thing for me. The preparation, the dynamics, the conversation, and if it's video - the eye contact, the processing, the cadence, WHEW. It takes so, so soooo much and there is a real oblivion here to individuals as such and numbers just being able to produce at ask. It was really telling that they felt so comfortable going through the *entire* recruitment process like this with a candidate, and the fact that they reached out to me so far out from when I first applied lets me know they have done it before and will likely continue to do so.
• The fact that it took over a month to reach out for the first conversation, and then that I had SEVEN interviews, a multi hour assignment, AND a presentation, of which the recruiter tells me is a reduced version of an earlier ask of candidates, speaks to a team, a leader and an organization lacking vision and understanding in what they’re looking to bring into fruition and how to execute on it.
• It also speaks to a lack of authority by leadership and a need for being committed to clearly identifying goals, and then working towards them in practical ways, which again as Glassdoor shared, the organization is struggling with.
• I definitely also have to wonder if this type of treatment would have been served by your team to someone who was male? Or not a person of color?
+ So lots to work on here! I share in the hopes others thinking of interviewing here don't waste their precious time, and energy 💯
