I applied for the role through Indeed and received a prompt response from Flatpay’s HR team. An interview was arranged roughly two days later, and I received an offer within 2–3 days of the interview. After receiving the offer, I carried out some further research into Flatpay and read a number of reviews on Glassdoor. Based on what I found, something didn’t feel quite right, so I decided to decline the offer. I explained my position politely and mentioned that the online reviews had discouraged me. I didn’t receive a reply to my email, which only reinforced my concerns. Looking back a few weeks later, the whole process feels rushed and somewhat desperate. During the interview, the interviewer didn’t appear to know which company I currently work for and seemed not to have read my CV. It left me with the impression that they would offer the role to almost anyone, pay a very low base salary, and let people go quickly if they didn’t hit targets.
