BP wouldn't disclose salary range on offer, I asked twice. I was contacted by a contractor regarding my job application, not by permanent HR staff. There was no call, he asked me through email for my current salary and my future expectations. I said I needed to know what the salary range on offer was to be able to give my expectations, and that I wasn't comfortable disclosing current pay. He asked me again for my expectations with a "you first" comment, I declined again and asked for a salary range on offer. I said I needed more information to be able to position myself in terms of expectations. I never received this information and the contractor went quiet. I was also asked to complete a timed skills test parallel with the pay conversation. It was a mixture of Azure, SQL hard skills questions and arbitrary rather than factual ones about concepts such as big data and ethics. Not giving the EXACT expected answer through multiple choice was penalised. I don't think I did well in the test, but some of the questions were so vague and based on opinions rather than facts, that I don't think anyone else did either. Which is why I was contacted a couple of weeks later for a "screening" call with an Architect. Not an interview apparently, they didn't even pretend that they believed interviews worked both ways. Just how bad is the culture that making transactional recruitment this obvious is acceptable. Anyway, I declined because a) I have a job now with a company that is capable of treating employees as adults, and b) I would have walked away anyway as I think BP's behaviour is completely unacceptable. If you think BP gave me feedback on my test performance before calling me to arrange a screening call, you haven't been paying attention. I'd guess that's on a need to know basis, just like the salary range is. Sadly, I'm not on that list. Comical.
