Behavioral Technical
It started with an initial phone screen, then an in-person interview. Following that, there were several rounds of interviews meeting different staff members, especially since multiple positions were open. During the second in-person interview round for a school position, I was asked about having children, which felt disrespectful and illegal. I didn't hear back after that, possibly because I didn't deny having children. I was then called for another interview for a different role, which went well with several questions about my work experiences. A final interview round followed, again for a different role, with two staff members. After they left the room, I sensed I wouldn't get any of the positions. They returned and said they'd be in touch. Three days later, HR called to say they received positive feedback but I wasn't chosen for any roles. I'm sure children excel at the school, but their corporate office seems to have high turnover and isn't a great place to work based on reviews. My advice: do your research; NYC has many great companies with good culture and management.

I was contacted by an internal recruiter for a phone interview. I had scheduled one, but then didn't hear back. They contacted me again to reschedule. The interview went well, and I followed up twice with the recruiter, but never received a response, not even to my emails. I know there are lots of applicants, but I thought it was unprofessional.
