Overall, the Lytx interview process was professional, diligent, and efficient. The Talent Acquisition team was professional and engaged, with timely communications at every stage. The hiring team was amiable, professional, and diligent, with thoughtful interview scenarios.

An internal recruiter contacted me for this role. She was communicative and on-point, and she set expectations very well. The process was pretty usual, although 12 interviews for a director position seemed a bit excessive. All 12 meetings went well, I enjoyed the conversations, and I was willing to consider joining their team. They mentioned they wanted to make an offer, and the last step was a final meeting with the executive responsible for this LOB. I felt a level of condescension and dismissiveness I had never experienced in a professional setting immediately upon joining the video call. It’s hard to put it into words because it wasn’t what was said; it was how. I felt he was looking down on me, and I sensed a strong gender bias for the first time in my 15-year career. I came out of the meeting feeling insulted, and I withdrew my candidacy minutes after that call. Interviews are a two-way street, and the candidate is assessing the company and the people s/he’ll be working with as well; maybe something for Lytx to remember, or at least for this individual.
