[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I conduct 2-3 interviews/month and can't stand it when people ask about this during the interview process -- it really puts me off. We do offer some flexibility, but it's just presumptuous and puts potential employers on the defensive. I agree with the advice about asking after you receive the offer. You can always turn down the position if they can't accommodate you.[/quote]

But how do you feel when they go through a long and time intensive interview process only to turn down the job because the company doesn't have a feature they deem necessary?   [/quote]

I'm not the PP you're quoting but I have an opinion about this.  There are a lot of "deal breakers" in whether one takes a job (the a-hole factor in the office, etc.) but you don't bring them up during an interview.  There are quite a few things you don't air in an interview just to save the employer time in making an offer you might not accept.  That's the nature of the hiring process.  I think it's questionable judgment to raise benefits during an interview if it's not brought up.  IF you get an offer, then use this issue as leverage.[/quote]
