Do not waste your time applying to Davita unless you’re fine with your own exploitation.

I had an interview with DaVita and for the first time in my entire career, I actually told a hiring manager to go fuck themselves. It started with the job posting saying the role was remote. Cool. Great. That is literally the only reason I applied. I get on the call and a few minutes in they casually drop, “This role is actually out of state. You would need to relocate.” So I asked, “Are you offering relocation assistance?” They said, “No. Only higher level executives get that.” I just sat there for a second like… you have got to be kidding me. You advertise a remote job, then spring a relocation on people, and you are not even covering the move. They really expect workers to eat thousands of dollars in moving costs just to show up and be grateful for it. They give nothing and expect everything. And then the interview somehow got worse. They start walking me through their process. Not one interview. Not two. Eight. Eight rounds. And two of those rounds were unpaid “projects” where I would be solving an actual business problem and then presenting my work to their leadership. For free. At that point I said, “Sure, I can do that. My consulting rate is three hundred dollars an hour. Send over the scope and I will invoice you.” That is when the hiring manager completely lost it. They went straight into a lecture about how “your lazy generation never wants to work” and how I should be grateful for the chance to “prove myself.” I laughed right in the middle of their speech. I told them, “People are not refusing to work. We are refusing to be exploited. You are asking candidates to do unpaid labor on real company problems, and most of them will not even get a rejection email. That is not proving yourself. That is free consulting. Plus you’re probably going to just steal my work and ghost me.” And that was it for me. They want eight interviews, two unpaid projects, a presentation, and a cross country move all on my dime. I told them their entire process is fucking garbage, wished them luck finding someone willing to bankroll their own exploitation, and before ending the call and said, “Oh by the way, Go fuck yourself fot wasting my time.”
