Hi everyone! I need some assistance. I recently had an internal interview with another team and the hiring manager made some wildly inappropriate comments during the interview about people of color and women including “we’re lowering the bar when making a diversity hire”. It all felt so wrong on so many levels. Obviously I won’t be taking the position if I’m offered it but is there anything I can do beyond just not take the job?

I would report it to the recruiter you’re working with. I’m really sorry this happened to you.

Yikes that’s terrible! I would DEFINITELY flag that to HR and let them know you’re pulling yourself out of consideration for this role and that is why.

Absolutely report this to HR. Their comments were completely inappropriate and they need to be addressed.

Would absolutely report it and ensure that you document the discussions. Unconscious biases and overt biases have no place in this world. I’m sorry it happened to you. You could also reach out to the ER head and have a confidential discussion about way forward.

Yikes. You could also make an anonymous report assuming the company has an Ethics Hotline, most do.

OP, I’m curious, what came out of the situation?

Has anyone ever been leveled down after reaching offer committee? I was told that I interviewed strongly and was being placed at L6 but once I was presented before the committee their feedback was that since 1 of the interviewers didn’t ask specific questions of me that they’d expect for L6 - I could either proceed as L5 or conduct 2 additional interviews to still be evaluated at L6. Can someone share their experience with anything similar? I am being considered for both PgM and TPM roles.
