I applied for this role that I felt I was well qualified for. I then received an email from a senior recruiter at Addepar that indicated I was moving forward in the process and that the next steps were for me to answer some additional questions so that Addepar could “understand me beyond my resume” The questions were about my race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, etc. A couple hours after answering the questions I received an email stating I would not be moving forward in the process. It was clear that my answers to these questions were what caused the rejection. FWIW I am not a minority, but this process definitely made me feel that I was discriminated against based on my answers. This process certainly made it feel like Addepar has an agenda on what type of employees they are looking for based on personal traits.

Really bad interview process. Had a recruiter screen (that I thought went well), recruiter informed me that I was going to be emailed a link for a technical test afterward and that she would be scheduling my next round shortly after. Instead I heard nothing from them for over 2 weeks, I literally had to remind them after 2 weeks that I'm still waiting to hear back and that I completed the technical assessment. Only then after a couple days did they say I was not moving forward. Made no sense to me, overall bad experience from their end.
