Two (somewhat competing) thoughts:
1.) In the grand scheme of things, a company that books travel sharing your info with a company that provides rides isn’t the worst thing to ever happen in the world of privacy and interviews. You could take the nuclear option, which would involve naming and shaming Pana and potentially writing some letters. Depending on where you are, this could violate some privacy legislation. Or, you could decide that wasn’t too far out of line and merely ask Uber to delete your info and stop emailing you. And, you could keep the nuclear option in mind if they don’t respond.
2.) Anecdotally, the interview stage is the best that a company will get. If they’re already doing things you consider sketchy, I promise that things won’t magically get less sketchy when you take the job. I can think of two ‘opportunities’ I could have saved myself from if I had internalized that lesson.
- SamWhited 7y agoI don't think the company I'm interviewing with did anything sketchy, to be clear. They just used yet another garbage startup that's solving a problem that doesn't exist, making the process harder, and can't be bothered to have any responsibility or consider that sharing someones contact details or setting up an account for them without their consent is not okay. It's Pana that's absolutely not okay in my book (although I suppose it's reasonable to say that the company I'm interviewing with should have seen this and avoided them).
