Pre-interview benefits information provided
Posted on 4/21/16 at 1:28 am

I have a job interview coming up after a phone interview. I received an email from the company outlining their benefits package. Is this something that's common nowadays? In my past experience, benefits have been something discussed only after an offer has been made. What would be the reasoning to send this prior to making an offer?

When I interviewed for my current job, it wasn't discussed until the offer was made. However, on a recent pre-interview discussion, I specifically asked about it and was given pretty much the full rundown.
It would save both parties time if they are discussed upfront in the case where it isn't satisfactory.

I won't interview with a company without some disclosure of their benefit packages. Not worth wasting my time or a company's time if the package isn't competitive. If they aren't confident enough in their benefits to share then I probably don't want to work there.

The benefits package could easily be worth $10,000 or more a year, it is a portion of your pay. In general I would say companies that are better for employees promote their benefits as compared to ones that have terrible benefits usually do as little as possible to let you know about them because they know they are shite.

I've never understood the thought that benefits shouldn't be discussed in an interview. You're interviewing the company as much they are interviewing you, and benefits are an integral part of any employment. Certainly not the time to negotiate benefits if there's any room for negotiation, but not uncouth to get a general idea what the benefits package would include.
