The job offer came soon after the interview. I was asked to provide references and details of previous education and employment. Once the background checks were done I was sent a contract and a handbook outlining the benefits. I noticed discrepancies between the contract and the Staff Handbook and when I questioned this I was told the handbook was out of date and I would not be sent an updated version I was also then told that some of the benefits in the handbook were not applicable to me. This raised many questions for me as I felt I was misled initially. There was much back and forth from then with amendments to the contract and follow-up questions to try to eliminate some of the ambiguity in the answers given to my initial questions. It was a needlessly drawn out process and definitely put me off working for the company.

The HR manager and the manager of the team that had the open role interviewed me. The interview lasted approximately 40 minutes and it was held on the site of the employer.
