I was a little worried applying for this position as I had already applied at Evolent once and having had a bad experience where the recruiter emailed me about an interview only to stop replying to my emails. This second time I was determined to have timely communication with the HR recruiter and always responds within an hour of her emails. She generally replied back to me 48 hours later. I had three main problems with this process. First, every month in this four month process the position would change or they would feel I was better suited for a different role and make me start from the beginning of the process. In total I interviewed with 12 people across 5 separate interviews. That is incredibly inefficient. Because the majority of people I was interviewed by actually lived in different time zones, I ended up taking three days off of work for these interviews. One interview took place while I was in vacation in Hawaii (I regret wasting that time). My second issue was the entire length of the process. I began on June 10th and just heard back that I didn’t get the position on October 13th. I find that to be an outrageously lengthy process for anyone to endure. Lastly, after all of this, I didn’t get the position (even though I was quite qualified). I’m sure they picked a candidate they felt was better, but I think after the amount of time and energy I put in to the process, I could have at least received a phone call or personal email. Instead I got the form email over the weekend. It felt like a slap in the face to be honest.
