[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Capital One? They want you to agree to compensation details before sending out the written offer because there is a domino effect of electronic, personnel actions that happen once the offer is issued. If they have to go back and re-do that package because you're still trying to negotiate salary, that is a huge waste of their time, and delays your on-boarding.

I just went through this and CO's "offer letter" is more like a welcome packet. The details of comp are negotiated first, so focus on that for the time being. [/quote]

OP here - This is the exact situation.  They said it does set off a series of events once the offer is put in writing.  I will negotiate the package they've offered and go from there.

Thanks everyone for the input.

I agree that it's weird and it's not reassuring to be on the candidate side of negotiating something without anything in writing, but they're not trying to pull one over on you. They're just trying to have a smooth onboarding process. Now that I'm on the other side of it, I understand why it wouldn't have made sense to send me this whole series of actions before we've agreed on salary - but before I saw it, I felt uneasy.
