DO NEVER CONSIDER THIS COMPANY!
The hiring process is the most ridiculous one I have ever seen. The interview went fine, and HR told me they were going to make me an offer.
Then, over the next two months, I followed up a couple of times, and HR always gave me a different reason why they were still working on the offer. At the beginning, this company was indeed my first choice, and I told them that if I received an offer with my expected base salary, I would stop all my other interview processes. However, after two months, they told me the real reasons:
And meanwhile, HR was blaming me for having other interviews ongoing. Really?
I can’t believe what I heard. They just kept me as a backup for two months and wanted to do it for longer. The worst thing is, internally, they are used to this trick. Their mindset is: "I want to keep you warm as long as I like, and meanwhile, you should show your determination to join my company."
I received a couple of strong offers from much better companies during those two months and decided to share this experience with all people who are interested in this company.
