After being told the position was no longer available, I noticed both the original listing and a nearly identical one are now live on Indeed, same responsibilities, just under a different title and with a salary $20,000 lower.
It’s hard not to see that as an attempt to quietly fill the role at a significant discount. After going through three interviews and being told I was a top candidate, it’s clear this decision came down to compensation, which is something that could’ve been communicated more transparently from the start.
I had a lot of respect for the Mister O1 brand and believed it stood for something thoughtful and people-driven. But this experience didn’t reflect that at all. A company can’t expect to grow or attract great talent if it isn’t willing to invest in it.
I’m genuinely glad I saw this now rather than later.
Red flag.
