| Oct 30, 2019 at 17:33 | comment | added | Gamora | I agree with Time4Tea in a sense, but if you're unsure about the company then I don't think there is a lot of point wasting theirs and your time. One of your questions could be a "stop-in-your-tracks" type of thing. I think there is little to loose asking with any reasonable employer | |
| Oct 30, 2019 at 17:31 | comment | added | Time4Tea | @user70848 I see what you're saying. However, from what you have described, the ball seems to be in their court, in terms of how to proceed. I don't see what you have to lose by at waiting to see what they do with it. I don't agree with that advice about withdrawing as soon as you know - I would withdraw at the point that is most convenient for you. That is what the hiring company will do. | |
| Oct 30, 2019 at 17:28 | comment | added | user70848 | I also have reservations about a few other issues regarding their business decisions and how they choose to prioritize their work; as well as use of old technology or lack of technology, etc. | |
| Oct 30, 2019 at 17:27 | comment | added | user70848 | This isn't exactly my question, but I am grateful for the advice. I just want to make that clarifying statement before we fully go off-question. :) So, yes, I'm not sure I want to continue pursuing this job and I'm on the verge of withdrawing. I've read advice that says you should withdraw as soon as you know, but I'm not exactly sure how you know you know. Essentially, they have interviewed me, but I haven't interviewed them and I get the sense that their company culture is that they don't care. | |
