I applied online. I interviewed at Cerity Partners
Interview
Two rounds of interviews that were both positive and conversational. However, the follow-up communication was poor. Candidates actively participating in a hiring process deserve timely updates, and unfortunately I experienced long periods of silence with little visibility into next steps. Very unprofessional

First interview went well and they reached out fast to get me a second one via zoom. Very enthusiastic and kind HR person was who I spoke on the phone with.

I applied online. I interviewed at Cerity Partners (Los Angeles, CA) in Dec 2025
Interview
Initial interview with was with company recruiter who was very friendly.
Second interview was with two wealth advisors via Zoom. Experience was quite unpleasant. Rather than focusing on my experience and presenting what the expectations for the role would be, the focus was on why I left my previous company. They stated that it was a red flag that I wouldn't just put my head down and work while searching for a new company. This went on for 20 minutes as questions continued that I wasn't comfortable answering. They also were turned off that I had a young child and insinuated that 5 am to 6 pm would be the working hours. I did not hear back after the interview concluded.
Why did you not just put your head down and work while looking for another job? I don't know if you had an inheritance or trust fund that allowed for this.
Thank you for your honest feedback. We value hearing what worked well and where we can do better, as it helps us improve the employee experience. We appreciate you taking the time to share your perspective and wish you the best ahead.
