I'm trying to decide on a job offer after a hiring process that had some questionable moments. Have any of you ever overlooked red flags during interviews and accepted the job anyway? Did things smooth over once you were working there, or did you regret not trusting your intuition from the start?

Yes I ignored and it I regretted it. I was eventually let go. Avoid red flags at your own peril.

Red flags are intuition. Trust your gut.

Never overlook the red flags, you will kick yourself later.

Never overlook them. If possible try to negotiate a termination package as in “if I am laid off or let go the company pays me x months of salary”

The interview process is them putting their best foot forward. The bad behaviour will only gets worse.

Same.

Trust your gut. If something doesnt feel right in the interview round, chances are they’ll get worse when you start working tgt

Does anyone else have problems with people from other disciplines just flat out rewriting strategy slides in decks? Any tips on how to get the behavior to stop?

I love feedback, but I've never experienced this before and rewriting slides without my input feels like a major line being crossed. Unless I'm just crazy? I truly don't know any more.

I’m a senior planner leading one brand and there’s a new strategist on the team working on a sister brand. They’ve been asking for every strategy deck I’ve made on that brand as an example to go by to inform the thinking/flow on the sister brand. Also because I mentioned it went well with client when they ask. All for sharing thinking w/ the team & I know we feel imposter syndrome to varying degrees, but I also feel like it’s good for planners to find their own voice/style/flow. Thoughts?
