Belkins interview questions

Nice friendly and dedicated recruiter. Did not move beyond as my salary expectations were higher vs role offer band. Transparency and honesty in offer details from get go helped efficiency

COMPANY SENT ME AN OFFER AND A DAY BEFORE THE START OF WORK THEY WROTE THAT CHANGED THEIR MIND AND MOVING ON WITH ANOTHER CANDIDATE I have never written a review about a company, but I cannot remain silent about this case. For 12 years of working in IT, I have never encountered such an attitude towards a candidate. The whole process took 2.5 MONTHS, because after each round I waited for an answer for more than 10 days. The company explained this by considering all candidates applied. Despite the long wait, I remained under a pleasant impression by the team, the product idea and the company's expansion plans. Before receiving the offer I shared with recruiter my salary range expectations in euros and NET, but offer was fixed in dollars and GROSS. I began to clarify questions about the taxation system for Ukrainians in Poland and asked for a call with the hiring manager to discuss the compensation policy, further growth opportunities and metrics of my work success before signing the offer. The meeting did not take place, my future manager did not get in touch at the appointed time, and later I received a message from recruiter that the team had consulted and the offer is final. Is this a respectful and professional approach to communication? Further recruiter could not tell me the exact amount I would get after tax deduction and recommended firms for consultation. No problem, I made an appointment with a lawyer, and for this reason I asked for 2 days shift of our collaboration start and the appointment of a final call with my manager. The recruiter agreed. As a result, after consulting with a lawyer, I informed recruiter about my readiness to sign the offer and 2 hours before our meeting she confirmed our agreements are in place. And again, no one appeared on the call! I've got a message from recruiter that the team has changed their mind and made an offer to another candidate. The reason given to me was that the shift of the start date for 2 days later had a negative impact on business processes (I selected the initial start date by myself and the recruiter agreed to postpone it, besides the entire recruitment process for this role already lasted for more than 80 days), a change in my compensation expectations after the offer is sent (which is not true) and the company cannot guarantee salary growth, as the future of the product is unknown ( same time the CTO at the interview is saying that the product was successfully launched, is growing rapidly and the company has a roadmap for scaling). P.S. The most offensive thing is that I had an offer from another company, but I gave preference to Belkins because of the cool team and development plans, I made an effort to find a solution to minimize taxes and accept their offer, and after that guys had a muddy communication with me and acted disrespectful.
