My experience with Lifestance Health’s interview process left much to be desired. The process dragged on through over four interviews for a position with a salary of $85K, which felt excessive for the role. What stood out to me most was an interaction with a Vice President. During the interview, she explicitly stated, “I’m quick to fire, and slow to hire,” which seemed to reflect a broader company culture that values caution to an extreme—perhaps at the cost of the candidate’s time and morale. To make matters worse, she visibly made faces while I was answering her questions, which I found to be unprofessional and off-putting. Such behavior during an interview sets a concerning tone for what the work environment might be like. If leadership exhibits this type of attitude toward potential hires, I would advise future candidates to proceed with caution. The culture may foster high turnover, micromanagement, and a lack of respect for employees. In summary, the overly drawn-out interview process paired with inappropriate behavior from senior leadership is a red flag. I encourage anyone considering a position here to keep these factors in mind and evaluate if this is the kind of work environment they want to be part of.
