HR was very proactive.

All the positions here are on-site assignments, but you’d better not go.

At first, HR proactively called me to invite me to an interview.

Before the interview, I asked whether my available start date would meet their expectations.

They said it was negotiable, mentioned that they hoped I could start as soon as possible, and kept actively contacting me to come for an interview.

A few days after the interview, they said I had been hired and sent me an offer notification asking me to reply.

But I don’t know what they were rushing for—they gave me very few days to consider it. Thinking they were sincere, I replied to accept.

In my reply, I stated my preferred start date and mentioned that their expected start date was a bit too soon for me, asking whether it could be postponed. I never said that their specified start date was impossible; I just wanted to discuss it first.

But I still replied that I accepted, since they seemed very interested.

Then the next day, they called to say that the position was gone. They just spouted a bunch of useless apologies,

saying things like they couldn’t reach an agreement on the contract with the client company and other nonsense.

I had already been preparing to resign and had turned down other offers.

Now all I get is a “sorry” and being told that the position is gone. They completely treated the job seeker like a ball and toyed with them.

If neither side’s desired start date matched from the beginning, why waste each other’s time on an interview?

At first, they made it sound so good, saying they could try to negotiate or discuss it for me—just empty talk.

Anyway, I can only consider myself unlucky to have encountered such an explosively terrible company.

Finally, a reminder to job seekers: before you receive an offer, don’t believe anything the company says,

especially this company—they’re basically a company that plays nasty tricks on people.
