Lots of red flags as I went through the process. First, benefits are lagging the industry norms. SIX MONTHS waiting period to participate in 401k, you have to accrue PTO and only up to 15 days your first year, and the role is required to be in office 3 days a week, even though most of the company is remote.
Second, I was told multiple times that there was an expectation to be working at night because that's what the executive team would require. I understand being available when fires come up, but I got the distinct impression that it's more the norm at Harrow.
Third, as part of the recruitment process, everyone does a Predictive Index Cognitive Test. That is pretty risky because businesses can definitely have some legal backlash if those test have any adverse impact on protected groups. This is always a big red flag to me when I hear companies doing that without much validation for the reason. Businesses have to be able to prove predictive validity with these tests!
All of these factors had me ready to withdraw from the process, but I participated in the next interview for extra interview practice. It was honestly one of the worst interview experiences that I have ever had. She made ZERO attempts to connect on ANY level, which gave me the impression that she had zero desire to be on the call. She skipped intros and niceties and went straight to "this is the agenda for the call." She then read textbook interview questions off a paper like "What is your greatest strength/weakness?" and "Why should we hire you".
I'm not entirely sure if she came into the interview with some sort of bias against me or if she is just very inexperienced with conducting interviews, but I got the impression it was one of the two.
