I accepted an offer from a company. The offer mentioned that start date will be determined after background check and everything else clears. They sent background check request 2 weeks after I accepted the offer, that too after I e-mailed them about it. Now, my background check seems done and cleared, they haven't gotten back to me for 2 weeks to confirm my start date. I am starting to get bad vibe about the company already and thinking of reneging the offer. What is your suggestion on this?
Run... that's a bunch of red flags.
Which company?
Background check yourself to see what they found.
I got a copy of background check they did as I had requested that and it was clear.
Company?
Check with your recruiter
I say this all the time. Just because it’s a shitty recruiter / hr / hiring process doesn’t mean the company especially the engineering (or other depts) are similar. There’s an increased chance sure, but it all may just be a single inept HR. Trying reaching out to a second person, perhaps hiring manager and see what’s what. If it were me with no other offers on the table, what’s the harm joining to prove it.

BREAKING: Internal sources confirm another round of layoffs just hit emails at Tesla. For real.
I’d suggest that you backtrack as the process seems to be broken from the inside and looks like this a pattern.
