“Free home-cooked food” sounds like they take turns bringing in potluck dishes every day for lunch. Hard pass.

likefunny

Think it means OP is expected to bring their own food into the office and eat at their desk… lol.

The "we're growing very fast" is the biggest red flag. It means the team is lean and you're expected to do way more than you're signing up for, for not enough money 😮‍💨

WeWork was growing VERY VERY fast too.

I’ve never seen so many red flags on a job posting. Run, run for your life.

These are benefits in the same way RTBs are actual reasons to believe. Run.

No big company red tape = no policies in place to handle most situations.
High agency = if you see a problem, go fix it yourself.
Generous leave policy = everybody is burned out so we’re hoping that giving them some extra time off occasionally helps them to stay.

These benefits make my skin crawl. Not trying to be rude but I’m genuinely curious. How did you make it to the later stages of the interview process? Were there no red flags before this “benefits package”?

like

The first interview was with the HR which is general questions and the second one was with the head of design which talks about my experiences, behavioural and situational questions. The benefits package is something i noticed on their website, which is essentially pages of Notion links.

like

The benefits should definitely be "vacation, comprehensive health and dental package" "wellness days" additional pay for additional work lol - this basically says welcome to this agency - we're new and we want you to work hard to make up for the people we don't have.

One of the best posts on Fishbowl ever. The "free home cooked food" is very intriguing. I'd take the job just to see what exactly that is and who's making it. My guess: it's the founder's mom.

There's been a delay from HRs of the companies in a similar way. How do I urge them to send me the offer letter without sounding pushy? I had reached out to some of the HRs myself. Would that be too awkward if I accept & back out their offer?
