This was hands down one of the worst interview experiences I’ve ever had. Invesco took over 2.5 months, 5 rounds of interviews, to evaluate candidates for an associate-level role. Let that sink in. For an associate position. The process dragged on endlessly with no sense of urgency, ownership, or respect for candidates’ time. If this is how the hiring process operates, I honestly can’t imagine how slowly decisions are made internally. The lack of efficiency, alignment, and momentum was glaring. Long gaps between rounds, unclear timelines, and a process that felt bloated and unnecessary made the entire experience frustrating and exhausting. What’s even more disappointing is that this was for the Digital Assets / Crypto team. I’ve never seen a crypto or digital assets team move this slowly. In an industry that demands speed, iteration, and decisiveness, this level of inertia is deeply concerning. It completely contradicts how modern crypto-native teams are expected to operate. Overall, the experience felt outdated, poorly managed, and unreasonably drawn out. Candidates deserve better transparency, faster decision-making, and basic respect for their time. This process was unacceptable and left a very negative impression of the organization.
