Would be nice to name drop these kinds of assholes.

I would love for them to not find a single worker to fill this position and people gradually leaving until it's just a husk with the C-suite having to do everything or the company just disappearing

I’d say they answered the question about the culture.

You dodged a bullet there.

I had a company back in 2012 refuse to present even a range of compensation before they flew me 1200 miles to an interview except to say that it "wasn't bad."

I didn't take the interview.

That's fucking bullshit. 20 years ago, those were just basic things to ask when they say "Do you have any questions for us?" And applicants were actively encouraged to do so by jobs coaches.

If they don't want people to negotiate their contracts, they should say "Requirements: willing to be exploited and blindly obedient; push-overs preferred."

I like to ask how much toilet paper can I steal before I get in trouble.

I hate that OP blacked out the company. Name and shame these fucks.

As a manager I’ll give you their thought process and from a mangers perspective it makes sense (albeit still wrong) and you DEFINITELY wouldn’t say it to the applicant.

Managers want robots that do their job and don’t call them out on their bullshit or question the decisions they make or their salary. That way they don’t have to give raises or address issues. When you ask questions on the interview that lead them to believe you are educated and stand up for yourself they don’t want to introduce you into their work bubble of other robots or it would start a rebellion. Hope this helps.

Is it common these days for employers to give this type of feedback to rejected candidates? I used to be happy when I got any reaction at all and didn't just have to eventually figure they weren't going to get back to me.

Dodged a bullet.

That's code for "we know that nobody would work here if they knew the answers, so we don't want to tell anyone them"

I have been in tech for 30 years (yikes!) and hiring people for the vast majority of that time. Salary, culture, and responsibilities are definitely things you should ask during the interview. In fact, not bringing responsibilities or culture up during the interview process is a huge red flag. Salary and compensation are more for the offer negotiation phase, but you should at least ask about the salary range they have in mind to make sure you aren't wasting their time or your time.

They don't like talking about it because every interested candidate becomes uninterested immediately after hearing the pay sucks, the hours suck, and the culture is awful.

Yeah more red flags than a Soviet parade imho

This has to be fake... right?

Be greatfull you didnt get that position because if they say asking about responsibilities (aka the role) is a no-no, then they're scamming.

Task failed successfully. Any company willing to get defensive in writing clearly has some horrific practices.

Yeah nice redflag for not working there

"for future reference...." Like OP is gong to re-apply to this company.

"So umm hows the weather?"

Im sorry $user But we dont discuss things on this ethereal plane during the interviewing process.

That's literally what at least 30 years of job interview advice has been encouraging people to ask during an interview

NOOOO the interview is meant for us to find a guy to underpay, not for you to find a stable good paying job!!!

I think those are questions you should definitely ask. I'd save them for the end of the interview but definitely ask.

While I believe companies do this, I don't believe this image is real. There is literally no reason to blur out the company. You didn't get the job. What do you gotta lose by showing the name of the company.

Just takes all credibility out of this image
