There was a phone interview where the manager asked for salary requirements and said ok. As the process proceeded, I assumed they were comfortable with my requirements, but when I was offered the job, the manager said he couldn't meet my requirements. I should have listened to my gut about this guy, but still accepted the offer, because it looked like such an awesome place to work and everyone was welcoming and friendly. The hiring manager also lied about the work I would be doing during my interview. It turns out the team just needed a grunt to do production work and not actual development work. The level of the work I got stuck doing was far below what I had been doing at previous jobs.
