Advice please, should I disclose my ASD for an upcoming interview? Do you think it could ruin my chances?
It’s a fintech company based in London, with international offices, and around 1800 employees so large-ish. The role is within operations.
The first stage interview was more conversational, lasted 30 mins, we spoke about my CV and experience as well as motivations for applying. I hadn’t disclosed the ASD at this point or asked for reasonable adjustments, but I find this style of informal interview far easier. It’s the formal ones where I struggle, overwhelm with detail and accidentally misinterpret formal questions.
When interviewing with very large companies I don’t worry about disclosing the ASD (seems ‘safer’ as large companies will often have some statements/policies on disability inclusion)
Two very large companies I had disclosed at the formal interview stage and both were accommodating about it.
However with this company, when I search the website they have nothing on their site or LinkedIn about disability or reasonable adjustments. In this case would it be best to not disclose as I don’t want to be seen as difficult or perceived as bad fit for their fancy office
