I've never seen a job offer that doesn't explicitly disclaim any implication that it's a binding agreement to employ you.
Maybe in California it's different but in Illinois it's unheard of that a company would legally obligate themselves to employ an engineer with their offer letter.
- ams6110 12y agoEvery offer letter I've ever received certainly had escape clauses. If it were binding it would be called a "contract" not an "offer." That said, many startups are clueless about HR policies and employment law. My bet is that they just really don't know what they are doing.
