I was contacted by someone from Array’s talent team for an Executive Assistant role, and yes they reached out to me first through LinkedIn. I never submitted an application, in fact I never saw an official job listing for this position. Not even on the company’s website. Thus I was given different details regarding what the role would entail throughout the interview process. I was under the initial impression that I’d be supporting 2-3 people within the leadership team. However, towards the end it was clear that I’d be an additional assistant for the CEO and his family. The overall process included 2 assessments, and 5 interview rounds over the course of 2 months. The last requirement would be me coming to meet with the team in office, so 6 steps in total. During my final interview (which was randomly added on) I spoke with the CEO’s wife who “usually doesn’t do these” as she explained it. Overall the interview process should be significantly shorted. It shouldn’t take 2 assessments and 5/6 interviews to know if you’d like to pursue a candidate. It’s a waste of time for both sides, and for a company that is yet to reach profitability I’m not sure why all of this is required. At the end of the process I received an email from Array to leave a review on Glassdoor. I don’t think this is the smartest idea on Array’s part as this has prompted me (and can easily be done by anyone else) to uncover a plethora of negative reviews regarding the company, their consistent layoffs, and its mismanagement. After even further review I uncovered an ongoing lawsuit against Array from a former employee that is set for pretrial at the end of 2025. If possible, read the interview and employee reviews beforehand.
