Hi Strange thing happened during my salary negotiations with Apple. Interviewed went well, they started negotiating verbally. I gave them my numbers 170k/100k/30k. Because i have another offer and i was being honest with them from beginning about my other interviews. Today ,they told me they don't want to move forward and give me BS reason for it that suddenly they got new feedback and they don't want to move forward now. Very unethical and unprofessional behavior from Apple. Total waste of 25days of my life. Location was San Diego. Position was for Low Power Wireless Eng. TC: 150k Yoe: MS + 8 yr. Timeline : Interview completed 7th jan. Congratulations email 11th jan. Negotiation start 12th jan. Rescind offer 15th jan. #apple

If your team does daily standups, your manager is a micromanager

Is meta really worth the wait?
What is wrong or unethical here? Negotiations didn’t work out, that’s it. If they had given you an offer letter then taken it away then it would have been bad. Why did you give them the numbers to start with?
Haha look at this clown trying to defend an org with zero integrity. You don’t fricking rescind an offer, you just ask the candidate if they’re willing to take the counter-offer before they move on to the next candidate. Cheap ass culture.
They didn’t make an offer to start with. It was verbal negotiation.
Unethical part is BS reason they gave. They should told me that our offer will be non negotiable from beginning So I can make my mind before interview.
Did they make an offer though? You have not mentioned that in your post.
Not official. Just Verbal. I had offer of 165/100/15 so i ask to match them and from there it went to south. I think they want to take me as ict3 and i was expecting ict4
This is so unprofessional and BS! I know 3 folks personally who negotiated and were given verbal yes just to know that offer was rescinded! Nothing new with Apple.
Yeah that is my point Make it official Apple that we don't negotiate in JD itself. Take it or leave it.
When you counter there is always this risk. Weird if those numbers were presented upfront and this happened.Well, suck it up as they rejected you.
I don't mind rejection. I have job and counter offer. Just sharing my experience to ppl so they at least know this is how Apple works.
It is a jungle out there.
Typical Apple recruiter. Not surprised. If you are still looking, try Microsoft
These things happen. I have an interesting one that happened with microsoft. This was for a director level role with that cisco cast out Edna
OP’s expectations are in-line with typical apple offer at that experience level for HW. Can’t justify offer getting rescinded.
At least you weren't ghosted...
Happened to me too !
Well, you have to ask yourself if you’re a person with integrity, do you even want to work in an org and company like that? Pick up your balls and move to a company where you’re celebrated.
Yes, exactly did that.
Lol wtf amazon.
