The recruiter did nothing wrong. My experience with her was quick, straightforward and professional. My gripe is more so with the hiring manager. Totally unprofessional. I’m not sure if Cedars Sinai is going through a rebranding or culture shift, but whatever it may be, it’s apparent something is happening. I’ve had other peers who share similar experiences. Employees of any organization are considered “brand ambassadors” the day they accept an offer. It’s clear that the hiring manager is the result of unchecked bad behavior and unprofessionalism. I arrive 15 mins early to their offices, which is standard for most candidates. The interview was to take place at 9am and I had to wait 35 mins. My time is as valuable as anyone else’s. Often, when an employer is running behind, they let you know and apologize. The hiring manager seemly called me to a conference room for the interview and said nothing en route there. She did not tell me that it was a panel interview, which is fine for me since I enjoy interviewing. It would have been nice to know the interview set up before hand. It was obvious the hiring manager pulled 2 additional people to be in on the interview and they had absolutely no background in what I was applying for. They were asking unrelated random questions and I had to keep throwing my work experiences in, to steer the interview back on track. They asked me questions all at the same time. The most detrimental thing the hiring manager said to me was that she’s a “micro-manager”. I pretty much checked out after that and was just hoping for the interview to be over. Very awkward and uncomfortable for no reason. I am a veteran of the military so I can handle pressure and shake-up. The total disregard for not only my time but the other candidates time as well. I can only imagine how patients are treated. I’ll probably never apply with this organization again unless I hear of organizational change. As of 12/7/2019, it has been 72 days since my interview and I still haven’t gotten a response on if the position was fulfilled. I would have gladly declined if an offer was extended. This was probably the worst interview of my life and I’ve never had to leave something like this.
