Two things stuck out to me about my interview process- the first was the group interview did not provide the respect that I am a working professional. I know it makes their lives easier, but there was not respect for me having a current job for an all-day interview process which is just one of many steps. Especially since, in my case, I was away for business during the one interview window. The second aspect that stood out to me, the lack of work-life balance. As a working mother, I asked questions about how leaders engaged with work-life balance since the expectation is 12 hrs a day at work. I have a sneaking suspicion this question was a point against me in the process. At no point, did I doubt my ability to accomplish the goals or do the job, but I wanted to understand how a potential workplace could be contributing to my whole life.

This process was unorganized and the staff member sounded rushed and unprofessional. The recruiter sent me an email with the similar questions to answer that were on the application page which shows that they like to work harder not smarter. The phone interviewer was late for the call and then rushed the conversation.
