Unethical and possibly illegal interview tactics. First interview with the recruiter: My suspicions were raised from the very first video call when they insisted I tell them my current salary. I declined and provided a range. A few days later, I received a call informing me I'd moved on to the next stage of the process. However, other managers wanted to know my exact current salary before I could proceed, citing higher turnover among employees earning more than what Lead Forensics offers. Despite explaining that their advertised offer was sufficient, she still insisted I give a figure before moving forward. The second interview with the head of Customer Success was strange. They asked me to prepare a slide presentation beforehand, explaining the reasons and concepts of Customer Success. There was no explanation or discussion before or after this presentation. Then, he began to excessively pry into personal matters unrelated to the job. With the vague salary details in the job posting and the requirement to disclose my current salary to advance to the second round, it clearly revealed what kind of company this is. The second interview confirmed this perception.

I Went through the complete interview process, and it was great. The Recruiter and the executives that I spoke with were very transparent throughout the entire process. They were upfront with the steps and very communicative with the needs of the company.
