First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Bright Horizons Family Solutions.
Teacher
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.
- What is your interest in this field?
Preschool Teacher
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.
- How did your previous employer characterize your attendance?
Teacher
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.
