I was really hoping that Home Depot would be the one. They seemed like a great place to work - but unfortunately, the interview process left me with a horrible taste in my mouth. The behavioral interview was my first sign that something wasn't right. I was told to expect behavioral questions, but instead I got technical questions that I was unprepared for.. Additionally, I was told by both people conducting the interview that the hours are long, that they spend all their time traveling, that they almost never get to see their family, and that they come into work on their days off. I figured that was the end of that, but to my surprise I was asked in for a skills test. I accepted, and scheduled for their earliest availability - a full two weeks out on the calendar. This skills test - or more accurately, the company's approach to it - was a huge red flag. I was never asked if I needed a reasonable accommodation for my disability. As a neurodivergent (specifically autistic) candidate with an anxiety disorder, it was a horrifying experience to be plopped into an "on the spot" test that I was not given any information on prior and have people watch me work while they took notes on my performance. Additionally, I have an audio processing disorder, which can make it almost impossible for me to follow along with spoken instructions. The entire test was a struggle, and yet if The Home Depot had made even the tiniest effort to be inclusive, it wouldn't have been all that bad. Here's the real kicker. I was called back an hour after the skills test and told by a recruiter that all my feedback was good, that they wanted me back in for a final interview, that no one ever makes it this far, and that this last interview was just a formality. I was told the faster I could schedule it, the more time I would have to consider the offer, which I was assured I would be getting shortly after it. Except that offer never came. I was told at the final interview to reach back out if I hadn't heard anything in a week. That week went by, so I reached out. Then another week went by...and another...and another. Finally, I reached out to the hiring manager on LinkedIn, only to have him say HR should have been in touch by now and he would very much like to have a chat with me and that he would schedule something. Two weeks later, I still didn't have anything scheduled with him, but I did eventually get my rejection letter. What is the takeaway from this? Recruiters, please stop promising candidates job offers before they finish interviewing...and hiring managers, please allow for better interview processes for neurodivergent individuals.
