This was by far the most unprofessional interview with an HR recruiter I have ever experienced. First, they set up 15 mins on the calendar so everything was rushed. The person was extremely junior (had been in HR less than 3 years, not too far out of college either) and the role was a senior position. They basically read from a script the entire time and became very short/curt with one-word responses like "Yep" and "Nope" when I asked for clarification. The phone line kept cutting out so I had to ask them to repeat themselves several times and they became very irritated saying things like "We already covered that." When the person asked me what my salary range was, I responded with my range and asked for the range of the position. They replied, "We don't give ranges at Peloton, we give one final non-negotiable offer." I was shocked at how off-putting and negative their response was. When we discussed what it took to be successful at the company, they said: "organization and working cross-functionally." Fair enough. When I asked what types of personalities succeed there and whether people could be their authentic selves, they replied, "We don't have a format for culture at Peloton. We want people to defy the culture." What does that even mean? This person was just checking the boxes and absolutely did not have enough experience to generate a productive dialog to determine if my experience matched the role. They didn't know enough about the role or team structure to provide effective answers. I'm not sure why they send junior people to interview higher-level candidates - they don't know how to handle themselves or have purposeful conversations. I'm so disappointed that Peloton presents itself as an accepting community and a top company to work for when behind the scenes they have unqualified recruiters to vet talent. Their extreme growth this past year seems like it was too much for them to process and as a result, they let great candidates slip through the cracks. It's such a shame this company is not at all what they portray to the public.

Extremely informal and a waste of time. Recruiter stated they'd be open to a remote environment for the right fit. Hiring manager asked several questions that weren't directly about my leadership or background but rather company knowledge. Then proceeded to tell me the job was onsite and I wouldn't be a fit.
