Behavioral Presentation

The interview process was thorough and included great questions. The director was very nice and informative. The interview was a bit challenging, but I appreciated it. It was very clear when going through the steps, and I was contacted directly pretty quickly after my interview.

Got to chat with a bunch of folks. The interviewer was really nice, honest, and easy to talk to. I felt super comfortable and like we had a good discussion. Seemed like they really wanted to find the best person for the job, not just fill a spot quickly.

I've interviewed with Bright Horizons a few times in the last several months for a Child Care Teacher position. The first time I applied, I was told 5 minutes after my phone interview that the job was already filled. I then applied for roles at other locations in my city. On the day of one interview, the recruiter I was supposed to meet never showed up. After I emailed and left a voicemail, I was told the position was filled. I interviewed for another Child Care role at a different location, and the recruiter scheduled to interview me never showed up. After I reached out, I was informed the role was filled without any notice. I've heard great things about Bright Horizons, but I'm very disappointed with their interview process. I had one phone interview and was ghosted for two others. I found this whole process very unprofessional and I hope the company fixes this for future applicants.
