- Referral through an employee. - Had phone screen and then was invited for onsite. - Interview went well and I was accepting an offer, but something happened which prohibited them from making an offer as I was contacted for my salary expectation and then they decided not to proceed. - Very strange.. - They don't want to pay as they have a big dev center in India and they probably thought they can hire people there more cheaply than here. This may be good for short term but not a sound long term strategy. If they want Senior people they should be willing to pay and not expect them to join for cheap. - This is the only thing I can think of and if I am right then I am glad I didn't join such short sighted company. Wuh.. Got saved..
