I have heard of stories where they were selected, given a badge to start and then it was reversed
Heard that there was a misunderstanding on hiring an external headhunter so the company just canceled it to avoid paying the fees

Of course. We are at will. Why would you think they can’t? I know people that had signed written offers revoked coming from school because the firm’s hiring needs changed. It figured it rather not start someone who has never even worked there besides a summer internship rather then lay-off there full time employees.

An offer is binding, if you have accepted, you have options
