Entrevista
I recently went through the interview process for a React Developer role at SoftPoint, and unfortunately, my experience left me disappointed. The initial stages of the process were positive; the interviewers seemed genuinely interested in my skills and background, and I received good feedback on my coding challenge. I was excited about the opportunity to contribute to SoftPoint’s projects and was even willing to join at a lower-than-market salary to make it work.
However, the offer I received was significantly below the industry average for even junior-level roles. When I tried to discuss a reasonable adjustment, I was told the company would cover my commute costs as a compromise. I believed we’d reached an understanding, but shortly after, I was informed that the offer had been withdrawn due to my “lack of experience”—despite my extensive, relevant background, which had been discussed and accepted in earlier stages.
It’s disappointing to feel undervalued and downplayed despite being flexible and eager to join the team. I understand budget constraints, but transparent communication and a fair offer are essential in building a respectful employer-candidate relationship. For future candidates, I hope SoftPoint can offer a clearer process with compensation that reflects the role and market standards.
P.S. Negotiating terms of employment is a standard part of the hiring process, and my goal was simply to make the offer more reasonable and feasible. Offering $55,000 to an intermediate developer is well below market standards. Furthermore, if I truly wasn’t qualified for the role, it’s unclear why I received an offer the same day as my interview. This contradiction only adds to my disappointment in the overall process.
The fact that candidates put misleading information on Glassdoor is regrettable. The candidate was continuously adding conditions to employment and was not qualified for the role. We hope your future activities are filled with success.

Simple questions, PC support experience, how you handle troubleshooting. It only took 30 min. They seemed glad to get a free employee. They did have a innovative way of testing your skills. Asked me to perform a series of tasks, essentially job responsibilities and timed me. Thinking was that if I was able to figure it out I would be able to do the job.

Entrevista
In the beginning I was having issues scheduling a time for the interview. I came into their office to do an interview, the interviewer didn't even know what position I was applying for at the time. They mainly went over my resume and didn't truly test my abilities, which were basically shrugged off. I then received an offer to work for them at minimum wage. I know they are a start-up; but this is a software development job, not a pizza joint.
