AskABoss: 'I was floored by how angry and aggressive he was in response to reasonable questions'
I’m wondering if a recent interview experience was normal, or if I was right to run the other way.
To my surprise, the CEO of the company called the next day and offered me the job. I expressed gratitude and asked if he could email me the details of the offer while I took a few days to consider. He asked why I would need time to consider and, sounding agitated, said he had other people waiting to hear back. He said that, if I had come to the interview, I must have wanted the job and that he had never had someone need time to think.
When the written offer finally came in, it was vastly under market value and said I would be obligated to work weekend hours, something that hadn’t been discussed. I politely declined and feel confident I made the right choice. But I have some questions about this process and how to look for good companies in the future.
Now, if no one knew to expect you when you arrived, that’s a problem. If it’s just that the person who greeted you was out of the loop, that’s not terribly alarming. The power dynamics mean your interviewers are able to get away with things you’d be judged for if you did them as a candidate, like being 10 minutes late. And because the people involved in hiring are human, you have to make room for human flaws, like delays in communication and interview questions that serve them while annoying you. You’ve got to be able to separate the minor irritating stuff from signs of real dysfunction.
