First, credit where it's due – the recruiter was a pleasure to work with. She was always professional and provided quick follow-ups. The process involves 6 stages – 1. Recruiter Screening 2. Interview with 2 of their current EMs 3. A round with a couple of Tech Leads 4. Interview with a Product Manager & Agile Coach 5. A conversation with HRBP & CTO 6. A round with the team you'll be managing All of them ask you mostly the same questions, with the exception of CTO where how you offer salaries to your hires takes the centre stage. This would become relevant later in the review. After all the rounds, the recruiter schedules a call and gives you an offer. I asked for a follow-up call with the CTO because I was unsure about the company and him in general. During the follow-up call, I asked him a few questions around the future of the team and the company and couldn't find a grand vision. From what I could gather, they're mostly looking to stay #1 and keeping their team stable, with no concrete vision of the future. Based on my research and the uninspiring conversation with the CTO, I decided to ask for a higher salary than what was initially offered, which was still well within the industry standards and not too far off from what was offered. The CTO got extremely offended and decided to rescind the offer and accused me of being greedy and asking for more money now that I know that commercetools has it. The recruiter tried to jump in to fix the situation, but the damage was already done. Both of them gave me contradictory information on how they decided on the salary. Never have I ever heard that an offer could be revoked once it has been made for any reason whatsoever, let alone negotiating a salary that's a *little higher* than what was offered – something that's quite a standard in any industry. Even glassdoor doesn't have a category for rescinded offer! Seems to me, they're looking for smart people who are clueless about the market and are dumb when it comes to negotiating salary. Overall, a terrible experience & can only recommend staying away.
