Step 1&2: Initial conversation with recruiter was great then I had an interview with the VP I'd be reporting to, which also went pretty well. Step 3: I then had to take a cognitive test (math and English parts) which in my opinion is very unnecessary, the math section was nothing like the sample questions. They were more detailed and didn't have enough time. Step 4: Next was a round of three interviews with 2:2:1 interviewers. Loved the team and interviews were pretty standard. At this point, my understanding was this was the last step. So I was expecting the follow-up call with the recruiter to be around feedback and potentially an offer. However, my application got transferred to a new recruiter who attempted to schedule another set of two interviews 2:1 interviewers. I responded asking what the interview process was considering how many interviews I had already had. She corrected it and said I will now have one more instead of two. Step 5: Interview with potential bosses boss. Went well. Great conversation. Step 6: Recruiter called to ask about my salary expectation. I asked about the compensation structure and provided a range AND mentioned I'm open to negotiation. Couple days passed and I had to follow-up only to be told by the recruiter that they offered someone else the job because what I requested was outside the range. Totally unfair and unprofessional. I wasn't even given a chance to negotiate considering all the great feedback, flexibility and time I invested into the interview process. The least they could have done was come back with a counter and see if I'll accept.
