I'd passed an initial technical screening from the recruiting agency consisting of two coding exercises, so the primary interview was an on-site with the manager, who asked me questions about my background and some various non-technical questions. Towards the end he had me create an object model with properties and methods for a light switch system, and write a sample class containing these. Later that evening I was notified that they had extended an offer, so I let the recruiter know I'd be getting back with an answer by close of business the next day - WELL WITHIN the 24-hour window. The reason I hadn't immediately accepted was that I was waiting to hear back on a potential offer with another company, and I'd had another on-site scheduled for the following morning. By the end of the following day I had not heard back regarding the potential offer, so I contacted the recruiter and let him know I accepted Hubbell's offer. This is where things turn into a giant SNAFU. I'd received an email over the weekend letting me know the hiring manager had been notified of my acceptance and was excited to have me on board. I filled out a form letter via email stating my acceptance of the offer and assumed I was good to go. Monday evening comes and I hear from the recruiter stating that HR had rescinded the offer and was unwilling to draw up a new one, their reason being that I had not responded within their acceptable time period. Problem is, that was never actually conveyed to the recruiter. Had I been told that I needed to respond by an earlier time I certainly would have done so, as I believe in the proverb "a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush". All in all, this was very unprofessional, and I advise potential candidates to be wary of interviewing here, since you may not have as much time as you think to decide on an offer if they extend you one.
