Was reached out to by a recruiter to see if I had interest in talking about a possible position within the firm. Had the exploratory call and then was passed along to the hiring manager. After a 90 minute conversation with her on the phone, she asked if I would be interested in interviewing with another member of the team, which I did on another phone interview that lasted an hour.
Was then brought in to do interviews with members of the team in person, which in total was about 5 hours. At the end of the last interview, with the hiring manager again, I was told that my skills were likely better suited for another position and that she would pass my resume along to the hiring manager of that position to see if they had any interest in my background. I have not heard back regarding that position, and have decided to spend more time focusing on other opportunities.
Up to that point, the process was smooth and seamless. However, I found it troubling that it took over 8 hours of interviews, including multiple interviews with the same people, for them to determine if I was an ideal fit for that team. Especially after I read, and heard from employees personally, that Evolent's current start up culture is one in which they choose to bring in talented people up front and then find appropriate roles for them.
