Playing mind games, not direct with communication, gave me an offer and I declined as there are some major red flags. I interviewed with this company and they played a lot of games and wouldn't be direct with me about certain things. Instead of saying "we like for people to be in the office" there was some sugar coating saying something like "we believe that visibility is key to the success of the company." Payroll happens once a month?! This isn't Europe and the only side that benefits are the employer because they pay less in the payroll costs. There were some fun things like "coming to a meeting on time is too corporate" which I thought was light-hearted and fun. The interviewer told me that they wanted me to stay longer even though I had already spent the time originally agreed to at their office. I needed to go back to my current job for an important meeting. They later expressed that since I couldn't stay longer that it meant I didn't want the role badly enough. This is a red-flag to me that they felt I owed them a longer time than originally agreed to. Its also not a very good interview experience because they are already somewhat stressful and this added to it. They also were angry when I tried to counter the offer amount which is very normal in the interview process? This was all sorts of wrong. It's like any push back on my end resulted in them being personally offended.
