I first had a round with the recruiter in which she asked me about my experiences. Then she asked me if I was familiar with the company and if I had experience with that type of work when I had literally just gone into great detail about how I had worked WITH Alight at another company in a consulting capacity. She wasn't listening to me at all.
Next, I had a series of four interviews that spanned most of a work day. Most of them went well and were your typical behavioral interview questions. It was rigorous and tiring and by the final round, I was of course drained. Naturally, this was the hiring manager (poor planning in my opinion to make this the final interview). The woman was unprofessional. She commented on something related to my appearance (not negatively, but didn't sit right with me). Then the entire interview, she was making faces as she stared deeply into the computer typing feverishly, as though she were writing every word I said (and again, not listening). It was frustrating because her body language made me feel as though I had to rush every answer. At one point she asked me about a client I had worked with before, and I explained it was confidential. She made a face and said, "ooookay." This woman works with clients every day. She should be pretty aware that this is standard practice! I knew I didn't want to work with this woman based on these interactions.
Next, the recruiter reached out to thank me and let me know that she'd be in touch when she heard more. I never touched base because I wasn't really interested anymore and about three weeks later, I received a standard auto rejection, except it was the type you send when someone has applied, not spent an ENTIRE DAY interviewing. I wouldn't want to work somewhere that treats people so unprofessionally and lacks any empathy.
Also, for a company that makes software for HR, their career/jobs platform is pretty unsophisticated and unorganized.
