4 step interview process, took about 2 1/2 months:
Phone screen
Hiring manager
Panel interview
Final panel interview
All were virtual
It was a terrible experience. They told me the range for this position was 84-88k in my first interview, I told them I’m looking closer to 90 but would be open to 88 with other benefits/package.
After my final interview, they ghosted me for 3 weeks, just to call me and offer me the job…. At a salary of 80k. Significantly BELOW the range they identified in the interview.
They were unwilling to budge at all on salary and gave me the verbatim answer when I asked if they could come up at all:
“We are sticking with our offer at $80,000. Completely understand the disappointment – that is the correct salary band, but for folks who have more experience as we have account supervisors ranging from 5-8 years of experience. This $80k gives you the space to grow within the Account Supervisor level and receive a merit increase without a promotion, based on performance/KPIs, financial health of the business, & internal/external benchmarking.”
Denied the offer and moved on. I would have never continued the interview process had I known that was the *true* range and it feels like they wasted my time and their teams in this long interview process just to lowball at the end. It was very offensive and rude.
