Pros
Nordic has a strong brand in the healthcare IT consulting space, and their delivery reputation is well established. The initial interest in my candidacy felt genuine and the opportunity seemed compelling.
Cons
The recruiting process was lengthy, disorganized, and ultimately revealed significant structural problems in how Nordic approaches executive hiring.
The process involved far too many stakeholders and opinions — a clear sign that the hiring manager lacked the confidence and authority to make a decision independently. When a hiring process requires input from an excessive number of people it typically signals one of two things — either the organization doesn't trust its own managers to make decisions, or the hiring manager simply isn't qualified to evaluate candidates at the level they're hiring for. In this case it appeared to be both.
After investing significant time across multiple rounds of interviews there was minimal professional follow through, no constructive feedback, and no acknowledgment of the candidate's time and effort. For a company that sells itself on client relationships and professional excellence the candidate experience is a direct contradiction of those stated values.
