After reading the job description, which also listed the salary range for the position. I applied for the position on November 17, 2023, although the high end of the salary range listed was low, based on my salary requirements. I decided the high end of the salary range was acceptable because of the positive information I had gathered about the company from my research. I interviewed with the HR representative, November 30, 2023, and subsequently with the hiring manager December 7, 2023. The next day, December 8, 2023, I received a call from the HR representative. She asked how the interview had gone with the hiring manager. I told her it went very well. We then proceeded to discuss the salary for the position. The amount she said they could offer was $6,600 lower than the amount listed in the job description - which I pointed out to her. I asked why did it change. She said she wasn't sure; however, that was the highest they could offer. I said I could not accept that salary - which ended my eligibility to move to the next step in the interview process. If the salary offered had been listed in the job description, I would not have applied.

First, there was an initial screening followed by 4-panel interviews focusing on different aspects of the role. And final round with an executive from leadership. Every round they make you feel you are the best fit for the position, HR even called to talk about the benefits. You go through all these processes, only later to hear the position is been put on HOLD. Please do not waste your time on the long interview process.
