Headway (NY) interview questions

I am extremely dissatisfied with Headway's candidate review process for a number of reasons: 1. Way too many interviews I had 5(?) interviews all over 30 mins. I also had to complete a take home assessment within an hour. I do not have any issues with the assessment, but the fact that there were so many subsequent interviews after I clearly demonstrated that I am capable to complete the functions of the role was unnecessary. 2. Repetitive questions During the course of all my interviews, a lot of the questions seemed to repeat the same themes, and I found myself repeating a lot of statements to different people. Many questions were clearly gauging the same thing (emotional management, resilience, communication skills, collaboration, ect.). It was unnecessary to ask so many questions about the same attribute when it was already answered 2 interviews ago. 3. Disingenuous Candidate review This is a big one for me. To start off, I do want to mention that I am neurodivergent (on the autistic spectrum) and the interviewers were very aware of this. I specifically asked questions pertaining to how they have modified their hiring process to not exclude neurodivergent people, and they gave me a laundry list of initiatives that they started. It all sounded well and good, but it was NOT implemented in practice. They give you "accommodations," but they still expect you to answer as if you were neurotypical. I would go as far to say that their hiring practices are discriminatory. There were so many times that I showed that I was more than capable of exceeding in the expected role functions; I also provided many relevant examples of how my work experience. They even acknowledged that they were impressed with my skills and were intrigued by the examples provided. They then went to assume that I would not like the role (?) and that I basically didn't know what I was getting myself into. Over the course of 5 interviews, the company culture and workload were clearly presented, and I (very clearly) noted that I am familiar in this type of environment, and I was happy to continue down this same path. Ultimately, they overlooked my clearly presented capabilities and competencies to say that I wouldn't like the job... To add onto this already long point, they also gave purposely misleading questions. They ask you about a tough time at your last job, yet they don't want you to say anything negative about your past experience. They ask about how you were able to remain resilient during hard times, but they don't want you to describe a hard time. TLDR: Headway strings you along for wayyy too many interviews when your qualifications can be shown in half the time. They then make assumptions about how they *think* you would fit into a role. They also pride themselves on modifying their hiring practices to accommodate for neurodivergent candidates-- it's a farce. The changes made are superficial, and they are extremely biased towards neurotypical candidates. Based on this alone, I *do not* recommend Headway as an employer. They have showcased with their biases that their assumptions triumphs over your capabilities, experience, and statements. I can only imagine how this may be exacerbated in a permanent role.

Called with a recruiter for 30 mins. Was rejected a few days later, saying they are looking for a specific type of person. They are a small startup and looking to hire <5 new grads.
