I went through a thorough interview process at Voltage Park — eight conversations over the course of a month with cross-functional team members. Everyone I spoke with was thoughtful and positive, which made me genuinely excited about the opportunity. After receiving and accepting an offer, I completed the standard onboarding paperwork, formally resigned from my previous role, and prepared to start. Up to that point, communication had confirmed I passed the background check. However, on my scheduled start date, the offer was rescinded with no explanation. A day before my start date, I was asked for additional documentation that had not been mentioned previously nor requested of me by any previous employers as a senior level employee. Despite following up several times, I never received a response. While the interview experience was positive, the abrupt reversal and lack of communication left me feeling blindsided. It gave the impression that internal misalignment or late-stage decisions could override basic candidate care — even after a signed offer.
