      Software Engineer Interview

      14 Sept 2020
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Declined offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Paramount in Aug 2020

      Interview

      My experience with the CBS Interactive went from 60-0 in a matter of days. I've never been treated so disrespectfully by any recruiter before. My initial experience was really good. The call with the recruiter, the phone screen with the tech lead, and the onsite loop interview with the team went really really well. everyone was polite. And the recruiter helped me every step of the way. I was really excited to get the offer and join the team. I was offered less than what I had mentioned for my expected salary, they did not increase a single dollar amount. This was to be a remote role, so there was no relocation or sign on bonus. They offered shares but the amount was way too less. I was given 3 days to accept the offer, but I felt really rushed and pressured into accepting the position. As the deadline to accept the position came close, the recruiter's tone really changed and was outright rude to me. The day after I accepted the offer, I got an offer from another company with the difference in compensation being in the 6-figure range. I was very professional and politely spoke to the recruiter about my decision and did this without wasting any time, in return, I was yelled and screamed at. My potential employer was insulted and things did not end on a good note. I tried to do everything possible for this exchange to be professional, as, in the end, everyone has to look for themselves and take decisions on how they want to progress in their career.
