I never leave reviews on this site, but I feel compelled to share my thoughts on this one. I had a successful phone screen with a senior manager and he asked me to come in for a face-to-face. He seemed to be very interested in my background and skillset. Upon arriving, I first met with the SVP Managing Director. Our interview went exceptionally well and we spoke for an extended period of time. The SVP is someone that anyone would love to work with; a very "down to earth" and relatable gentleman. Next, I met with the senior manager who initially asked me to come in. He decided not to ask me much questions since I successfully answered everything on our phone call. He turned the table over to me to ask questions. I asked many detailed questions about the role including business and technical questions. I knew the answers for every question I asked since I had done some extreme research about the organization prior to the interview. I decided that it would be best to show my engagement towards this opportunity. We finished our conversation on a good note and he handed me his business card. The next day I received a call from my recruiter that the senior manager decided to pass on me because I needed more experience. How did you come up with this conclusion when you never asked me any questions at the interview? I came to the interview very confident and expressed my knowledge in the field. I decided to call the senior manager direct to ask if he would be kind enough to inform me of my shortcomings and offer some advice on areas of improvement. He says "I'm traveling now, but I will speak with you on Monday." I already knew that was another false tale and he definitely didn't call. A few days later, it's yet another debunkable excuse given to my recruiter that decided to inquire since he was also left dumbfounded. To be honest, I now believe it had more to do with my skin color than my experience. The senior manager was obviously expecting a different type of person at the interview. He could have avoided wasting my time and his by taking a look at my Linkedin profile picture before having me come in. I found this whole process quite distasteful and disappointing. My wife will be closing her accounts with this company.

The process had three phases, well-structured, transparent, and clearly communicated regarding the phases and next steps. The first was a screening call with HR, then a 45-minute call with a Senior Director, and the final phase was a panel with three directors that included questions and a case.
