I had three 30-minute video calls with Invision: one with a recruiter, one with a VP, and one with a product manager. Things that made the experience negative, that could be improved: - Twice, I gave times that I was available to the person scheduling interview calls, and the calls were scheduled outside the times I was available. I didn't say anything, I just moved my schedule to accommodate Invision. - The 30-minute calls with the VP and the PM were too brief. I had only ~10 minutes to ask questions of my own, and was left thinking that these were very much "screening" calls rather than an opportunity for me to figure out if the role was a fit for me. After the third call, I still had very limited understanding of the day-to-day experience of being a director at Invision. It would have been helpful to have spoken to a current director (there are several practicing almost the same role there). Related: the interviewers were reading from a list of questions, which made the interview feel less friendly than it would have otherwise. I understand that this method is applied to reduce bias in interviews (which I approve of), but I think this would work better in a longer (60-minute) interview, which would provide more space for the candidate to pursue conversational tangents, and to probe and learn. - After my third call, there were a couple of days of silence from Invision. On day 3, I received a survey from Invision's Greenhouse instance, asking me to share my feedback on how the interview process had gone (past tense). I hadn't yet heard a "yes" or "no" from the recruiter at this point, so I inferred that I'd been rejected. Several hours after submitting the survey, I reached out to the recruiter I'd been working with to thank him for his support during the process, which was apparently at an end. Minutes after I'd sent my email, I received an email from a different recruiter who I'd never worked with or spoken to, telling me that Invision had decided to go with a different candidate, and to please keep in touch. The tone of what I believe to have been a form email was a little jarring, given the somewhat patronizing language ("keep your head up!") and some jumbled/grammatically incorrect sentences. A day after that, the recruiter I'd originally worked with replied to say that no, I was still in process, he hadn't heard anything about my candidacy being at an end. I replied to point out that yes, I'd heard back from his colleague regarding this specific position, but thanks for checking. He then replied with, oh, yes, my colleague is right, try again some other time with us? I found the way the interview process was wrapped up to be disorganized and disrespectful. It left me with the impression that the company doesn't really care about its candidates. I expected better from a company with Invision's reputation and prominence. It's surprising to me that Invision doesn't have its recruiting process on lock. Personally, I wouldn't engage with Invision again, based on this experience.

I have interviewed with Invision twice now, both with recruiters only. The first time I was told I was the top candidate, and received a canned reject email the following day. The next time I was told the hiring manager picked my resume specifically and that I should hear back within a few days. I never even received a canned rejection email. I won’t even bother applying for anything else.
