The interview itself was easy, it was just three people staring at me from across the table taking notes. You could tell my answers all went into an algorithm and they were eager to usher me out the door. It's what happened after that was shockingly bad. The day after I interviewed I got an email that said, "great news, you've been selected to move forward -- we just need your references now." Sounds like I had the job, right? Wrong. TVC is now making candidates COMPETE through their reference checks, sending out scored questionnaires to references and then aggregating those scores so they can THEN make a final decision based on the entire experience (interview, references, etc). Since the beginning of time, employers wouldn't bother asking for references until you had an offer, but now that's been reversed. The worst part of all, TVC doesn't divulge this to the candidate -- they trick the candidate into thinking they have the job by their "great news!" emails, then they ask for no less than FIVE references, and THEN they ghost you. In fact, they're still ghosting me. It's been weeks and they never bothered to even return a polite email when I asked what the progress on my application was. Essentially, TVC wants you to bother five different people so they can use them as references in their internal AI-generated algorithms, and then busy themselves with scoring and aggregating so they can hire the "right" candidate, all the while ghosting the people who simply want to know where they stand after being told they had the job. Great approach, TVC. They clearly really care about people! I'm more than qualified to do the job too, and I have rock solid references -- the fact they can't even show the professional courtesy of returning emails is a clear indicator of a dysfunctional and inconsiderate enterprise. I've been spending the past week apologizing to all of my references for wasting their time doing TVC's reference process -- it's clear I won't get the same courtesy from TVC themselves. AVOID THIS COMPANY FOR THESE KINDS OF INHUMAN PRACTICES.
