Interview
Experienced a few red flags from the interview process all the way down to the offer stage..
I suspect the team has internal problems with management & the manager likewise has issues with them.
I suspect there’s also a lot of miscommunication& toxicity etc.
Usually when there are several red flags - it’s usually a good sign.
Role will likely be re advertised again..
