Feb 2026 they came up with an even less offer and asked me again a final number.
I had my daughter’s school and my parents to take care of. This VP role is a cost saving attempt from them it seems and role reviews are also not good and hence I didn’t accept the offer.

Process was pretty standard with an initial recruiter screen and hiring manager interview. Potential second interview and reference check/background screen, but I didn't move forward. Process was straightforward but they did not do any updates or follow ups after the first interview.

The process consisted of three rounds. The first two were standard and well-organized. I moved to the third round, which also went well, and I felt positive about the interaction. Complete lack of communication post-interview. Despite a positive experience in the final round, I never received any update or feedback from the HR team. It feels like a significant waste of time when a candidate puts in the effort for multiple rounds only to be ghosted by recruitment.
