Workplace reviews and discussion: 威德數位設計有限公司

The office is beautiful.

I’ll paste the conversation directly and let everyone judge for themselves.

I interviewed with one of the companies. They mentioned that they understand job seekers may want to carefully consider each job offer before making a decision, so they hoped I would think it over before getting back to them. They said that if I said I wanted to join them, I shouldn’t later stand them up.

Personally, I think this is a better approach. Of course, there is a deadline for consideration; it is not an unconditional extension. I also take the company’s position into account, so whenever I decide not to accept a position, I notify them as soon as possible.

Hello, thank you very much for offering me the position. I am deeply honored.

However, although we discussed during the interview that I could start as early as October 1, could the company postpone my start date to Friday, October 5, so that I can consider it in more detail?

Hello, so does your company mean that after notifying me of the offer at 11:30 last night, you decided the next day to offer the position to another candidate? Was I replaced just because I asked a question?

Position: PHP Programming Assistant

Dear Mr. X, we have many interested candidates who are able to start on October 1, and all of them have strong potential comparable to yours. We enjoyed our interview with you yesterday and confirmed that you could start as early as October 1. However, today we saw your message saying that you still had not finished considering whether to accept the position. From the company’s perspective, of course we cannot wait for a candidate whose arrival is uncertain, nor can we miss out on a promising talent. Therefore, we chose another candidate. If you had been unable to immediately confirm during the interview that you could start on October 1, I don’t think we would have sent you an offer, since this was also one of the conditions of employment. We sincerely apologize if the company’s decision has caused you any inconvenience. We wish you success in finding a suitable job. Thank you.
