Bewerbung
Ich habe mich online beworben. Der Vorgang dauerte mehr als 3 Monate. Vorstellungsgespräch absolviert im August 2017 bei William Blair (Chicago, IL (Vereinigte Staaten von Amerika)).
Vorstellungsgespräch
- Phone Interview (1 month after applying) - great discussion, nothing out of the ordinary.
- In-person interview (2 months after applying) - HR communication was flawless before interview, travel logistics and lodging were impeccable.
Everything went well until I showed up for the interview. With my background, I figured I would be a great fit for the role. Unfortunately, it wasn't until the hiring manager saw me in person that questions about whether I really wanted the position and if it would be a good fit came up. I have a feeling that this was a case of hiring discrimination, but of course this is something that can hardly ever be proven (and companies know this). I should note that everyone was kind; whether feigned or genuine, I'll never know.
With that said, I didn't interview with or notice any black employees in the office; however, was informed (without asking) that there was one analyst. While it is common, in my field, to rarely see others who look like me, I generally accept that there is fierce competition. However, I discovered that the person who was hired had fewer years of education and post-graduate work experience, but was white.
