I was contacted via Linkedin and I eventually passed the phone screening. After a few weeks, I was invited for an on-site interview. I came prepared with company knowledge, dressed up in a suit and put on a big smile. I felt that I interviewed well and that I had enough experience in other industries that would help me gain an offer at Fisher. All three of my interviewers were conducted by White males (2/3 being Ashkenazi). I had a zero chance of being extended an offer, as I did not particularly fit within their racial standards. At one point, I felt uncomfortable because the last interviewer asked about how I learned Arabic, even though they never cared to ask about my Spanish skills. Lastly, the HR team took me on a tour of the San Mateo office and considering all six floors, I did not see one Black, Asian or Latino person working within their building. Basically, 99 percent was either White Christian or White Ashkenazi, which is actually normal for the Finance industry. The HR later called me to ask me about my interview. I told relayed to them the lack of diversity that was evident there, and how this is shameful considering the Bay Area is one of the most diverse regions in the US. The HR person stated ,"we care about diversity and...". Basically a bunch of lip service. I was quite baffled as to how much the HR person was lying, especially after I just finished walking around their entire building and seeing only one race sitting there working next to each other at their tables. If you interview at Fisher, be prepared to be interviewed by one certain race/religion.

I enjoyed the process but also no idea where it’s going. Excited to see what happens and hoping for a good result. Also I need to write 30 words I guess
