This was the strangest interview process I've ever experienced. I have mostly been on the employer side of the hiring process and I was just perplexed. The process began with a set of questions via email from the comapny's CEO, then a zoom interview with the company's 2 VPs and then a call with the company's CPA. I thought all went well and they made me an offer. The offer was $25,000 below market rate. I spoke with one of the VPs and she told me she expected a negotiation. I countered by providing them with current market rates for the position. They failed to respond for a week and then pulled the offer with no explanation other than they were going a different direction,
