The interview process started off well, but things became disorganised as it progressed. While I was onsite speaking with someone from the business team, I was unexpectedly told that I would need to attend a third interview with a more senior manager. On the same day, I also had to wait an extra 30 minutes because the interviewer was in a last-minute meeting with his boss. That part was understandable. After my discussion with the business representative, I was offered a salary that was lower than what I had originally requested. I didn’t reject the offer on the spot—I simply left the office to think about it. Shortly afterwards, the recruiter contacted me asking how the meeting had gone and encouraged me to accept the offer immediately. When I mentioned that I had been told there would be another interview first, it became clear that there had been a lack of communication between the recruiter and the hiring team. I then informed the recruiter that I wished to withdraw from the process because the salary did not meet my expectations. She said she would speak to the team and match my requested salary, while also explaining the company’s benefits. However, I politely declined again, explaining that I was no longer interested in the opportunity. Despite this, she continued calling and messaging me, asking me to reconsider and “help her out.” At that point, I felt the process had become unprofessional, and it raised concerns about how the company operated internally. It was a significant red flag for me.
