I was contacted via LinkedIn to apply for a job. I was reluctant since I already had a good job, I agreed to a phone call. I had a phone call and after that call, I was set up for another. The call that was set up was rescheduled twice as the person who was supposed to call me didn't TWICE, so I had to take time out of my work day three times to ensure that I could be away from my current employment to take the call.
I finally made contact and I was told that I sounded great but the position I was contacted for was already filled and they felt I would be the perrrfffeccttt fit for another position Non C-Level. (which I was not too happy about), I again agreed to another phone interview for that position, I then agreed to yet another phone interview with another person and then I agreed to come in for the in person interview anyways. (So right now I have taken over 6 hours out of my regular work schedule to accommodate all the interviews) The interview was short but went well, the person I met with wanted me to have phone calls with more people so that was set up. I had two more phone interviews.
I received the offer. The compensation and benefit package was very nice, less than what I was used to but nice.
Unfortunately items that were agreed to on Tableau's end were not able to be met, a lot of miscommunication and mismanagement of the offer.
I had to decline the job.
I was greatly disheartened by the whole experience. I felt like starting out like this was a very bad sign.
I know that I would've nailed this position in my sleep, I gave more than my all in the interview process, I spent time and money to insure that I would be the best employee, and the "miscommunication" was not my fault.
