I've been looking for a new job for about a month now. My current job has had it's ups and downs and I'm worried about the stability of it, as we've had lots of cuts/firings. I've reported to three different VP's in four years. I've survived every cut and had decent bonuses but it's time to move on, as I will be at my company for 5 years and there doesn't look to be much growth.
I had a recruiter get in touch with me on LinkedIn. Conversation went well, and he set up an interview with the Director of the department I'd be working in. The Director said my work was amazing and he really wanted me to join his company.
So, the interview went OK...but the Director seemed a little unprofessional and used profanity in our discussion and didn't have a lot of enthusiasm. He's two years younger than me. I let it slide a bit.
However, today I learned that this company just hired an individual who I'd likely have to work with (this is a full stack environment) who I felt was unqualified for the job as an Associate Director. He has no experience managing people and has had 5 different jobs in the 5 years I've known him. I worked with him before at a previous job, I'm Facebook friends with him (he added me), and his social media posts are often very dramatic and sometimes hate-filled. He once posted about how he he'd "choke someone out" if they continued to talk trash about him.
They are most likely going to offer me a job for a very good salary as an Associate or Executive Director, but I'm leaning towards declining it because of the people I will be working with. I tend to gravitate to more professional behavior and I feel like this company employs people who don't behave in a way that respect.
I am I making the wrong move? The money is so tempting, the work will be easy and for very big clients but my values are overriding things.
Thoughts?
