I applied for a Senior Product Manager role at SITA in early 2025 and was really looking forward to the opportunity. SITA has a strong global reputation in aviation technology, and I was excited about the chance to be part of such an important organization. The process started with a screening call with a Talent Acquisition representative. While it began as a normal conversation, it later shifted toward expectations that felt personal and unrelated to my qualifications or the role itself. There were references to personal benefit and financial flexibility, and I was left with the impression that meeting those expectations could influence whether I would move forward in the process. This was surprising and uncomfortable, as I expected the interview to focus on my experience and fit for the role. I stayed professional and kept the discussion focused on my background. Shortly after, I was informed that I would not be progressing further. What made this more concerning is that I later met other professionals who shared very similar experiences. This is disappointing, especially because SITA is a well-known and respected company globally. I still believe SITA is a great organization, and I hope that all candidates have an experience that reflects the professionalism and integrity the company stands for.
