The interview process was fine. First a recruiter, then hiring manager then data analysis. However, during the first conversation with the recruiter I was told that my salary expectations could be met. Fast forward to when then gave me an offer, it was $35k less then what I currently make and the equity they offered was extremely low. In my response to their offer I brought up the massive decrease in my pay and how it was discussed during the initial conversation in the process. 8 days later I received the following response "We believe you're a strong and ideal candidate for the position, however, we, unfortunately, are unable to negotiate on the offer that was extended at this time. " Now this leads me to two questions. 1. Wouldn't it of been better and more productive for everyone involved if you mentioned you couldn't meet my salary expectations in the initial phone call? 2. Why in the world would you expect someone to take a $35K deduction in their pay and offer then barely any equity? Overall the experience was complete waste of time and extremely unprofessional. If they treat their candidates like this I would hate to see how they treat their employees.
