The early stages were respectful and the recruiter was transparent about the compensation range upfront. However, the final interview with LATAM leadership was unprofessional: direct questions about contract terms, time off, and career progression were deflected, and salary anchoring below the recruiter’s own stated budget was attempted alongside manipulative tactics to pressure candidates into accepting less. The role was also switched mid-process without clear explanation. The process ended with silence past the stated follow-up deadline with no offer and no rejection communicated. LATAM candidates should be aware that cost optimization appears to take priority over fair and transparent treatment.
