The interview process with Health Rhythms started off professional, promising, and left a good impression on me as a candidate in the first two rounds of interviewing. I completed a total of three interview's, one of which was a panel interview which for the most part was a delightful experience. However, during the interview it felt unorganized, and unprofessional as the questions asked did not seem to be well thought out and felt as if everyone on the panel of three were “winging” it or “playing it by ear”. I was able to get a good sense of the company and its mission, and values and I respect Health Rhythms for their determination in revolutionizing mental health care for all. However, each round of interviews seemed to become less and less cohesive, and no one was able to provide any clear context regarding the role, and its responsibilities. I was told I would be working with the team to determine what the role would actually consist of, and asked if I was comfortable with ambiguity, in which I delightfully stated yes, as I’m very well experienced with start-up companies, and understood there may be areas of uncertainty as the company grows. However, my final round interview was cancelled that same day, about 5 hours beforehand. I was told it would be cancelled, but the company would reach back out via email to reschedule. Several days went by and the company became unresponsive, which prompted me to send two follow up emails. I received no response, and eventually was emailed on a Saturday, providing a denial. The reason given was “ this was splitting hairs” between me and another candidate, which was very disheartening. I felt extremely disappointed, as I felt the interview process became unproductive towards the end, and to be told my interview would be rescheduled, just to be denied seems very odd. I would hope moving forward other candidates do not have the same experience I’ve had, as a lot of time, effort, and thought goes into the interview process from both the candidate, and the company and that time should be respected.
