I applied for the Advisory Fellow position, which offers $30/hr for 20-30 hours per week.
Full-time employee pay appears subpar, which seems to impact team morale, creating a challenging atmosphere during interviews.
There was a noticeable disconnect between interviewers regarding my background and potential contributions. One interviewer seemed out of the loop and dismissive as soon as the call started, which was discouraging given the effort I put into the process.
After investing considerable time and energy into the interview process, including hours creating a Homework Assignment deck, I received NO communication about their decision. This lack of follow-up reflects poorly on the company and diverges from standard industry practices, where decisions are typically communicated within 3-5 business days after the final interview.
Professional Courtesy: Provide timely feedback to candidates, especially after multiple rounds and substantial deliverables like a presentation. Candidates deserve closure, and a lack of response tarnishes the company’s reputation.
Overall Impression
The Advisory Fellow role might be a good fit for those seeking a resume boost and exposure to digital health. However, the interview experience and organizational dynamics suggest room for improvement in professionalism, communication, pay, and team morale.
It’s important to note that while Rock Health Consulting shares its name with the VC arm, it is now a separate nonprofit entity.
