The recruiting process felt rushed and disorganized. The job I was initially pitched did not match the role I interviewed for, and communication around responsibilities and expectations was vague. I was eventually offered a contract position, but not for the role I interviewed for, and I was pressured to accept verbally immediately before seeing anything in writing. I actually thought this was a scam until I was given a Teksystems login to onboard. The paperwork I was given lacked any details about the job itself. I was never even told what the job title was.
When I hesitated because this whole process was sketchy and I also had concerns about the contract and how it might conflict with my existing work, I was told there would be “negative consequences” if I didn’t sign the contract which felt threatening and unprofessional. I decided to walk.
