Ask HN: Should I sign my new job contract prior to my interview trip refund?
2 comments
I suggest that you call them and ask when they pay the expenses. Note that 12 days is not an awful long time.
Normally the refund will be handled by another unit then HR (usually accounting unit). They are doing this once in a month or so.
So it is totally normal to take longer then 12 days.

I have no prior experience on how these situations are handled and how much time a refund would on average need. My biggest concern is that in case they don't refund my traveling costs they would not have kept their word. In turn signing a contract with a company that does not keep its word seems like a red flag for future issues.
How should I handle the situation? Should I wait until they completed the refund and not sign the contract? Should I ask them? Should I be open with them regarding my concern?
