I had one of the worst interview experiences of my life with Intertrend a while ago. During my initial conversation with HR, I mentioned my expected salary, and she said it might be too high and would check with the hiring team. After that, I was invited to the next rounds, which led me to believe that the company was comfortable with my salary range. However, when I received the offer after 4 rounds of interviews (including a take-home assignment), it was nearly 20% lower than the number I initially provided. What confused me the most was the lack of communication from HR or the hiring team regarding the significant difference. Feeling invested in the process, I reached out to HR politely to negotiate the package, only to be informed that the hiring manager's number was already above their budget. While I was debating whether to accept the offer or not, the team requested an additional interview. Following this interview, HR informed me that the offer was rescinded without any explanation. After my inquiry, she told me the offer was considered too high for the role, so the management team decided to take the offer back. This left me feeling shocked and disrespected as a candidate, as I had stated my expected salary from the beginning, if my number (even 20% lower) was not feasible, why proceed with the interviews at all? The entire process was marked by poor communication, and I felt undervalued as a potential employee. The lack of transparency and clarity during this experience was disheartening and totally a waste of my time. Based on my experience, I can not recommend this company at all.
