I want to share my experience so other candidates can make an informed decision before investing their time. I went through four rounds of interviews, including extended situational and values-based discussions with leadership, including the CEO. The interviews were not highly technical and focused largely on personality, client scenarios, and team fit. After completing the process, I received a formal written offer and was asked to provide personal information so equipment could be shipped. At no point during the interview process was my education raised as a concern. I submitted proof of my associate’s degree, and my resume accurately reflects 7.5–8 years of hands-on, real-world experience in Salesforce and enterprise environments. I have worked in highly regulated industries, including large enterprises, biopharmaceutical companies, and security-sensitive roles. In my entire career, this has never once been an issue. After the offer was extended — and after they confirmed whether I had already given notice at my current job — the company rescinded the offer due to my bachelor’s degree being in progress. This decision was made days before the New Year, leaving me unexpectedly without employment, despite there being no attempt to discuss alternatives, context, or even something as reasonable as a completion clause or probationary condition. What was most troubling: • The concern was raised only after the offer was issued • No discussion or flexibility was offered • The decision was made knowing I had already acted in good faith • Communication throughout the process felt one-sided, including leadership interviews conducted with cameras off If a bachelor’s degree is a hard requirement, that should be made explicit before extending an offer — not after weeks of interviews and life-impacting decisions. I strongly advise candidates to proceed with extreme caution. Clarify every requirement in writing before resigning from another role. Based on my experience, this process showed a lack of care for the real-world consequences on candidates. There are many organizations that value experience, transparency, and basic professionalism. I would recommend taking your talents to one of them.
