Overall, the interview process was not very respectful of the candidates' time. I underwent 2 phone screen, then was asked to prepare a presentation covering how I would approach my first 100 days with the firm. After submitting my slides, I was informed that I was not to actually present it during the interview, but rather the interviewers wanted to read it in advance. The onsite interview left a lot to be desired. I was escorted to a conference room, where 4 parties were waiting. They did not introduce themselves, nor explain their roles with the company. What was immediately noticeable was the unfortunate impact that a lack of diversity and awareness had on the interview process. For example, one interviewer flipped through my presentation slides (which stated that I would stay away from making immediate changes outside of my standard job duties, and rather focus on learning the inner workings of the company, relationship-building, and building the influence necessary to effect broader impact in the long term). After flipping through it, she said, "you don't say in here that you would do any work. You do realize that you would have to do actual work if you came here, right? We wouldn't let you just sit around and talk." Obviously, this was very offensive to me, particularly as a woman of color (as we carry the stereotypes of lack or work ethic and a desire to be on welfare). It was simply bizarre and shocking that an interviewer would assume that a candidate with nearly 20 years of progressive leadership experience, excellent references, and a strong history of impactful successes would not to do their job if hired and I took it to be evidentiary of a bias. Another interviewer told me that I would be a challenging hire, given that I "would have to learn the financial services industry from scratch" and that "we have things to consider such as compliance that would be new to you." It was as if she had never bothered to even glance at my resume, which detailed my nearly 20 years of experience in the financial services industry - nor had she listened as I walked the group through it. A third interviewer shared that it would be challenging do me to act on a global scale, despite my having operated globally in the past and that I speak several languages. Overall, there were several shocking moments that made this interview a very unfortunate experience and which left me with the impression that it would be very difficult for candidate of my demographic to be successful in the role. I still politely asked a few standard questions, including what next steps would be, and was told that I would have to schedule more time to come in to meet with another interviewer on another day, which I did not feel would considerate of the time of candidates. I personally wouldn't have several days to schedule for each firm that I'm considering. However, some could only be a candidate with one firm and be willing to schedule several days off for multiple onsite interviews with a single firm. Given that I that the experience was negative and I had already received an offer from another firm and had another in progress, I was no longer interested in considering this role after meeting them onsite. I later received a voicemail from the recruiter advising me that I was not selected to move forward, anyway.
