The first two stages of interview were great! I met the HR person handling the job posting and we had a great 30 minute chat on how my skills align with the job posting as well as what they are wanting. Then the next step I met the actual team I would be working with. It was great as the interview was very conversational and I got to learn a lot more about the inner workings of the position.
Then the final interview was with the department head. And as I get on the call in the center of their background was a picture of Trump after the attempted assassination with his fist raised. This was during election season, and anybody with a grain of common sense would know how tense elections are. This struck me as very tone deaf and not a place I would want to work at. On top of that he just talked and asked very little questions. It was very off putting.
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at AmTrust in Sept 2024
Interview
Had 7 interviews in about 3 weeks, being considered for multiple positions. Did a phone screen with the recruiter, then some hiring manager interviews (for the different positions), a peer interview and a skip level interview. The scheduling and interviews all went great with prompt responses and promises of a decision shortly and then.... crickets. I followed up after 2 weeks and the recruiter said there had been no decisions yet. That was about a month ago.
I understand if I wasn't ultimately selected, but putting me through that many interviews for 3 positions and completing the final round? I find myself pretty miffed that there was zero outreach to a final round candidate about what happened, even just to close the loop that I wasn't accepted.
