DataLab USA contacted me for an in-person interview three weeks after I applied online. I went in for two different interviews, first time meeting the HR, Senior Manager & company CEO. Second time was a meet and greet with a Director. The interview was relatively easy, the staff seemed really nice. During the interview everyone made the company sound very welcoming but little did I know about the cut throat culture. The HR representative described the environment as “friendly and interactive” and “supportive of employees” but I soon found out the opposite. DataLab made me an offer but once I countered their offer, I received a hostile email from the HR representative describing false shortcomings in my abilities and undermining my professional expertise. Then I politely replied in defense insuring them of my professional capabilities while pondering to myself why an HR representative would attack my professional integrity when they have already made me an offer. A few days later, with no negotiations, I received an abrupt email from the HR representative stating that after reviewing my counter offer and my emails I was no longer a perfect match. Frankly, I am really relieved that I did not accept their offer as this interaction showed their unprofessional work ethic and their blatant disregard for valuable employees.
