Interview
This was perhaps one of the most unprofessional interview experiences I have had as an executive. I was contacted by a recruiter and had a quick 20 minute phone screen. Then I had another equally brief chat with the hiring manager who ironically would have been a peer. In-depth hour long interviews with 3 functional Directors and peers. CVSHealth has a policy of conducting their out of town interviews via video channel which they could not get to work for any interview in the process so everything was via phone call. In the end, the hiring manager used the excuse that my relevant experience was not recent enough despite having known this going into the interview process. Who hires someone especially at the Director level without even meeting them in person?

Question 1
How would you take a difficult situation with your hiring manager and resolve it if you knew they were in the wrong?

Interview
I had a couple calls with the hiring manager (a VP) and thought they went super well. She was late a couple of times, but I understood due to her busy schedule. She seemed like a genuine and authentic leader who had a great managerial style, so I was excited about the opportunity to work under her. Unfortunately, after the second interview, I heard crickets. Nothing from the interviewer and nothing from the hiring manager despite a couple of understanding and kind follow-ups.
I was completely ghosted. I really thought we had a great rapport and fantastic conversations, and was beyond disappointed to be discarded without even so much as a response. I received an automated survey request from CVS' HR team, asking me to assess the interview process.
I thought it important to be honest (but fair) in my feedback. Within two hours of submitting the survey, I finally received an automated rejection email.
People remember their experiences with brands, even if it's just through interactions with employees. Unnecessarily negative experiences like these tarnish the brand, and it's hard to look at them the same after. I really wish people would consider that more often, but ultimately, believe that candidates deserve basic respect.
I applied online. I interviewed at CVS Health (Detroit, MI) in May 2025
Interview
6 interviews for one position over the course of two weeks. Ghosted after the final of 6 interviews, despite an email asking for a status update. Last interview with very senior level exec felt very much like she felt the process was a waste of her time. Extremely uncomfortable. Most of the team was lovely, it’s unfortunate to have ended it on that note.
