I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Capital Group (Los Angeles, CA)
Interview
I interviewed for two senior level roles and was convinced that they were ready to extend an offer in both cases. I found out later from an insider that both positions went to internal hires with much less experience and no history of performing the job functions of the positions they were seeking to fill. My source also shared that they often interview external candidates for executive positions after having already decided on an internal transfer or promotion. This is simply done to check a box. What an incredible waste of time!
