Process

It took a long time at each stage to book my interviews. Once they were booked, they seemed to go well, though I experienced last-minute cancellations and had to roll with the punches.

I received the offer and then, two days later, was informed that I needed to make a decision by the next day because they wanted to hire someone else instead of me. I was literally on my way to the airport when they messaged this to me, at around 5 p.m. I tried to research the offer as much as I could at that time and asked if they could possibly offer a compensation bump, given the situation, to help me feel more comfortable. They immediately dropped me from the process.

I liked all the people I interviewed with and was seriously considering the offer, but now I feel disgusted by the company as a whole. I've never been treated so badly before by any company in my career.

Tldr; Given offer, offer rescinded immediately on suspicious grounds.
