I did a phone interview and then the next week or so went in for a 4 1/2 hour interview. I was "ready to go" as they say, and then I had to start to deal with the HR process. This was so chaotic that I ended up turning the offer down after I had signed the offer letter. The reasons for this centered around three areas: 1. Not telling me before I received the offer letter that I needed to take a blood test. And then telling me and my "to-be" boss that I was told that. NO, I wasn't. 2. Telling me they would check my CURRENT employment reference AFTER I turned in my resignation. This is a bad practice. Monster has a great article up on why this is the wrong way to do this. This struck me as unusual, and once I called the HR Manager I was even more confused. I expressed my concerns in a long email thread, and she responded, and I thought I had agreement that they could check my references from my immediate boss, who was ready and willing to provide that information, but he's not HR. Just my boss that knows my income, etc. The kicker was after having thought I had agreement via a long email thread to go my boss route to meet their requirements (and even call my "to be" former employer after I had started at ATCC if they wanted), getting a note to say "please let us know after you turn in your notice, so we can call your employer." 3. Screwing up my start date badly at the beginning and during the offer letter process. First I was to start X day, then Y, and finally back to X. Oh, and I was the one that had to update the offer letter with the correct date after being told to "scribble it out." Then THEY sent me the corrected version, after I had scrambled over to Kinko's @ 6AM to meet their deadline. Despite all of this, I was willing to go forward because ATCC is sooo close to my home. I was literally filling out the Aurico paperwork when I got the email in the second paragraph of #2, at the end of a long thread where I THOUGHT we had established my concerns. I interviewed with GREAT people. I just refuse to get involved in any more organizations with glaring problems. Glassdoor provides a great service - read the posts about HR issues, etc., and you'll understand my point of view. Way too many red flags.
