I’ve been approached by Genpact regarding a particular role in their Dublin office. I asked them what the salary range is and they said it was “open” and would be determined after interview, dependent on my skills and experience. Is this normal? This reeks of a red flag to me.

Can anyone shed light on the culture at this company or any other notable insights?
Thanks

Do you have a “desirable” salary expectation with a “floor” level (I call it the ‘walk away’ level) ? If your range is clear in your mind and based on your research for your role, skills and experience for that location, you’ll find it easier to negotiate. Obviously, don’t start the salary conversation until you make it till the end and don’t start with the “floor” level. Leave space for negotiation. Beyond salary, make sure you understand the standard benefits that you’d expect and ensure your negotiation package includes those as well. This is assuming you like the company.
In one of the offers I was negotiating, the salary had a nice bump but when I computed the benefits, the whole package wasn’t giving me the desired bump I was seeking. I made a counter offer.

Good luck.

Thanks. Yes I went back with what I considered a fair offer and asked about benefits- they didn’t come back as of yet

Not sure about your location, but except in areas that require a salary range be disclosed, it is not unusual. However, neither would I disclose my comp nor what I want before they gave a range.
I would expect to have to negotiate up and do some research. Good chance they may not be sure what they need to pay to get the talent they want and/or have some flex around what that job does.

Or they could be jerks who try to screw their employees at every turn. But that has not been my limited experience
