By far the worst screening call I've had in my decades of interview experience. I was already skeptical after noticing another review from April 2025 mentioning the same interviewer, and unfortunately, my experience confirmed those concerns.
She could not have been more disinterested or ill-prepared. She rushed through a scripted prompt about Peloton at what felt like triple speed, all while audibly munching on food throughout our call. Her demeanor made it abundantly clear that I was an inconvenience rather than a candidate. She asked me a single, surface-level question about my experience and interest in Peloton, offered no commentary or follow-ups, and immediately pivoted to asking about my salary expectations. The entire interaction was brief, dismissive, and laced with condescension.
While I understand that initial screening calls are typically short, I have never encountered such an unprofessional recruiter in a corporate setting. Peloton—and any company, for that matter—should recognize that these calls serve as a first impression of their organization. The person conducting them is, in many ways, a representative of the brand. This experience has completely soured my perception of Peloton and has ensured that I will never apply again.
Despite my years of experience that clearly align with the role, I received a rejection email today. To no surprise, it was nothing more than a repurposed, generic prompt.
This entire process has felt dismissive and perfunctory, from the rushed and unprofessional screening call to the impersonal rejection. It’s frustrating to see a company treat candidates this way, especially when they claim to value talent and experience.
