I had interviews for 2 different ED positions. In general, recruiters seem pretty unorganized and non responsive. On one job, I chased several times via email and phone for updates and took weeks to get a response. And when I did get one, the response was the job was put on hold until the new year. So end of Jan I reached out to see if they have any updates, this time, despite of several attempts again, they never responded.
On the second job, I interviewed with several other EDs I would be working with. They told me they were gonna give me an offer. 2 weeks later, still no letter/updates, so I reached out. They told me there was some re-org and now I would be reporting to a different ED and then also the MD wanted to talk to me. During day of interview with MD, he was 30 min late claiming he got the interview time wrong. After continuously apologizing, he didn't know how to move forward with the conversation/interview. Awkward silence for 5 seconds which I had to break. He didn't ask me anything about why I wanted the job/company, how I approach problems or coaching teams. But just really every little things from my resume.
Passed the HR screen and had a first round interview. All technical knowledge based questions related to the job itself. Very open ended questions allowing you to speak and share your knowledge
Really got to talk to almost all the inividuals on the team. When there's an interview, the logistics were well arranged.
However the entire process took too long (over three months), with interview requests popping up unexpectedly after a while, and minimal feedback in the process, Fully understand there can be too many qualified candidates under current environment, but the long process could discourage some good candidate and reflects on the internal efficiency,,,
I applied online. I interviewed at J.P. Morgan (New York, NY)
Interview
Interview process was average, as the women asked the best questions but the men seemed like they had their mind made up the second they saw me. Women like me don’t get a seat at the table with them so my gut told me it was a no the second we met. I was ghosted after 5 rounds of interviews, didn’t even receive a rejection letter until over a month after. I normally would not leave such negative comments but this experience is making me want to switch banks at this point. Someone in my network with zero experience in this field got a role at this company, so I sounds like Chase needs to revisit their unconscious bias training and stop hiring who they prefer to work with than who is capable of actually doing the job. I was told the team lacks initiative and that they need a leader. Sounds like to me both the existing leadership and team need to go.
