The interview process started out normal. A brief phone call to introduce the company and position with a recruiter in Cincinnati, another phone call for a formal phone interview with the same recruiter, another phone call with Dan D in Georgia to get his stamp of approval, and then an in shadow day/person interview in Phoenix.
Shadow Day is where my red flags came up. Not every company needs a 20,000 sq ft. office space, but the office just felt very "thrown together". The office is in the start up phase, that can be worked with.
However when I interviewed with the 2 "managers" I did leave with some unanswered questions. I later learned from the original phone interviewer in Cincinnati that the gentlemen I met with were not managers. In fact, there was currently no manager in the office. They're "working on it." Would have been nice to know that up front.
I asked the 2 interviewers what they are looking for in an employee? They said, "we just want someone that is the best. Someone that is going to come in here and really push us to better, and be the best." Okay... glad you don't want to work with average people but what does the best look like to you???
I asked the 2 interviewers to review compensation with me. They said, "Oh we don't handle that." I asked, "Who is the person to talk to then?" Their response, "The interviewer in Cincinnati, will determine starting compensation." I'm personally not comfortable working where my direct manager doesn't have influence over my pay..
In the end, the recruiter in Cincinnati said that they are not in a position to proceed with hiring anyone until they have the management situation figured out in the Phoenix office, and ended the interviewing process.
Please take my experience with a grain of salt if you are interviewing with Prolink, and feel it out for yourself. If you are Prolink take my experience as an opportunity to improve.
