How big is the company and who was interviewing? If it's HR, they genuinely might not know. I've been to interviews where the interviewer admitted they had grabbed him 5 minutes ago while he was walking past, and he had no idea about the project. They might be hiring because they have budget, for some future project (that might never happen).
Don't get me wrong, all of these scenarios aren't good, and it's a warning sign. Personally, the secrecy alone would make me think the job isn't a great fit for me.
> tell them I can't accept the job without any specifics about the project itself
This, if you aren't happy with the arrangement don't do it (if you have that luxury). Gut feeling can be quite helpful.
- bendixso 10y agoIt's a 600 person company, and I interviewed with engineers as well as management for the project. They all knew in advance that they would be interviewing with me. Once again, not a good sign. It means a few possibilities. 1.) They didn't think I was good enough, so they decided to keep the information secret. 2.) It wasn't really an interview but more of a screening. They wanted to see if I pass their smell test. Gut feeling overall wasn't good. I'll have to go with that.
