I interviewed for a company called tooljet, cleared all the rounds.
During the negotiation with HR, in the later stages of negotiation I had asked few questions like
- Is there any Esops(no)
- Appraisal cycle(it's a startup, depends on performance)
- Promotion possibility(it's a startup so depends on the performance)
- Performance bonus(it's a startup depends on performance) no range given
- Medical insurance ( it's a startup so no)
- Probation period(3 months)
- Leave policy(21 days yearly, can't take more than 3 days consecutively) the head of product and tech lead said it will be unlimited
- Public holidays(national holidays yes + 1 day for diwali) so 5-6 days I'm assuming
- Work from home expenses if any?(no)
- Working hours(10-7, it's a startup so you might have to work long hours)
- Working days( 5 days)
- Notice period( 1 month)
- Joining date(tomorrow) lol, I asked her to defer it by a week
1st call was regarding my expectations ( she said she will give me 30-35% increment on previous)
2nd call was about her offer(gave me 23%)
3rd call was regarding all these questions
4th call I accepted asked her to defer it by a week
5th call she said no, saying you asked a lot of questions, we want someone who can focus on the growth of our startup and not worry about these things.
I never got a chance to negotiate, she never accepted or even bothered to listen to any of my requests. I asked her to increase it by 30% and she didn't even bother to listen and refused it. Her entire attitude was , take it or leave it.
She said she can't negotiate each and every day,and I barely got a chance to even negotiate.
Did I say anything wrong or is the HR stupid?
