I'm not mad, I'm disappointed - Anonymous Relativity Employee Review

Relativity named Diversity and Inclusion (now they call it Inclusion and Diversity?) KI's of both 2018 and 2019. However, I never saw this as a factor in any major decision making/priority setting. As a woman, I would frequently find myself as the only representative of my gender in a meeting of 15+ people. Integrating accessibility standards into the software was only seen as "slowing down" the work and leaders in fact argued against it. Relativity's ENTIRE C-suite is white, with only 2 women and 8 men. And they've had ample opportunity to correct this, too. In the short time I was there, there were 2 open C-level positions and a Director position they were hiring for in my department, and Relativity had a wonderful opportunity to showcase their commitment to D&I. Instead, they hired 3 white dudes with similar backgrounds, two which worked at the same *two* companies together before Relativity. Nevermind the gender and ethnic homogeneity, at Relativity there isn't even diversity of thought! Heck, half of my team was hired directly from Morningstar. Speaking of hiring, the hiring/on-boarding process at Relativity is an absolute nightmare, and I'm not talking about the RCA (that's a story for another day). An internal candidate referred me to Relativity and it still took 3 months from my initial phone screening to get an offer letter. In that time, they said they wanted to wait a few months to bring me in, and then two weeks later came back with "nevermind, we want you now". Overall very confusing and unorganized process. As an employee, they brag about their "culture of recruitment" and are always encouraging you to refer your friends to open positions. However, all the people I referred had horrible experiences with the recruiting team, one of which went through several rounds of interviews for two different positions and then was 'ghosted' by the recruiter both times! Twice I had to send follow-up emails to the recruiters and even stop by their desks to ask them to follow-up with my candidate before she got so much as a blanket rejection email months after she did an on-site interview. I was thoroughly embarrassed at the company's treatment of her, so much so that I apologized to her and didn't bother referring anyone else after that. (note: I was very vocal about all these things when I was at Relativity and was grateful that I was given the opportunity to have my voice heard. Also kudos to Relativity for giving me a space to politely voice these concerns to both HR and my team without fear of repercussions. However, no actual change happened while I was there, which is one of the reasons I decided to move on.)
