Cracked one of the FAANG along with other offers. The Company revoked the (signed) offer after giving me a start date in the next week. I've declined other offers, as well as resigned the current job. I was at a stage where my background check was done too. I'm devastated, it took them roughly a month after the interview to revoke it. Any suggestions are welcome. I guess I just needed to vent a bit. Thanks for reading. I've not received any reasons about why. TC: *nullptr YOE: 1 post master's, 2 after undergrad. Also, suggestions/referrals/ideas on companies hiring for C++ backends / distributed systems are welcome. P.S: the offer made was roughly TC 250k. P.P.S: posting in HR as it allows me to hide the company name. It is embarrassing enough.
Name and shame
Not worth the trouble.
Yeah, an extremely delayed rescind can really stress out someone with a dependent family and kids
Did they give any reason?
None.
follow this thread. If this post is real, then that is too horrible.
I've no reason to lie. I had an offer, now I do not. The offer was made and it was voided, wasting an entire month for me. That's all I'll say.
I am sorry OP. This is really a bad situation. If you don’t have Visa issue then that is lucky. Would you mind letting us know which one of those put you at this situation?
You can sue them
A) I cannot, the offer is "at will". B) my total life savings is roughly -50,000 USD, I'm not in a position to sue anyone. C) Even if I could, it's not worth the effort. I might work with them later in life.
You can. Have seen it done
When people said FANG company it is usually amazon. Otherwise they would just mention the name
There's no point in guessing. It doesn't help anyone. Would be happier if you suggest companies/teams that use C++ heavily :-).
Lol
Why would they revoke? Did you lie anything about previous work? It's probably one of references. You should find the source or it might happen again.
I know Microsoft does not like that, maybe most similar FANG to Microsoft!
Did not lie. Reference was great, they won't proceed this far without that.
How often something like this happens!? WTH?!
Shouldn't be frequent. Just a freak event.
Sad post. But it's kinda useless. No company name... And I don't really believe the reason of revocation was not given. So did you ask the recruiter and which answer did you get? "I don't tell you". That's BS. It's either a visa issue or you failed background check.
I passed the background check, I saw my report. NDA, I'm not going to write further. They were "apologetic", but not "reasonable". I'm on OPT, with 18 months left.
OP you are a liar. You did something you’re ashamed of and now you won’t say what it is.
Okay. Thank you. :)
