Pros? You must be joking.
The CFO clearly hadn't carefully reviewed the candidate's résumé at all.
The interviewer in the first round was a subordinate of the person in this position—WTF. He sat down without even introducing himself and asked about my salary expectations. Then, in the second round, the CFO complained that I shouldn't casually discuss salary with other employees—WTF. He is the employer's representative (so what the hell was the first round for?). Then, after seeing my salary expectations, he offered only 60% of that amount, claiming it was the maximum salary for the position, and said they would consider adjusting it after a six-month probation period. For fuck's sake, I'd already written my previous salary in my résumé. Who in their right mind would agree to that? And there was no year-end bonus either.
The position also involved taking full responsibility for closing the books and implementing a system. Do they think accountants grow on trees? Terrible company.
