The entire process took about a month. I was called a week after I submitted an application. The hiring managers were amazing, knowledgeable, easy to talk to, enthusiastic. Nothing but good things to say about them. The HR however handled things horribly. I would be relocating for this job so it’s something I’d really have to think through. Hiring managers never discussed pay, leaving that entirely to HR. HR and I discussed the range (range gap was almost 20k so I really needed more specifics) during my very first call. And I left that alone for the time being hoping to discuss it as I got closer to an actual offer. And never again did we discuss it. HR called to make the verbal offer and congratulate me. I asked her to send me the offer letter to see the salary, benefits, conditions to see if this was worth moving across the country for. She said “no, I need an answer from you before I send you an offer letter. It’s because it’s a long process for me to get the letters signed by the CEO.” You know what’s a long process too? Moving my entire life to a new state, where I don’t know anyone for a job that I have absolutely no idea what it has offer other than work itself. Later she called back to take back the offer without really discussing anything else with me.
