Unlawful Termination Following International Relocation
Schlecht am Arbeitgeber finde ich
Questionable decision making:
I had an agreed start date of December 1, 2024 as a Software Developer - Frontend at COMAN Software established in August 2024. In preparation for this role, I resigned from my previous job in the United States, sold all my belongings, declined another full-time job offer in the US, and relocated to Germany in October 2024.
I submitted all required documentation, including the Einstellungszusage (employment offer) and Erklärung zum Beschäftigungsverhältnis (declaration of employment relationship) signed by HR at COMAN Software. While awaiting my work permit to commence employment, the company informed me in November 2024—after I had already relocated—that the employment would not proceed and stated they would no longer honor the signed Erklärung zum Beschäftigungsverhältnis.
This decision caused significant disruption to my life and career.
Edit: This feedback concerns the onboarding process, not a previous employer.
Edit 2: There has been a claim that I did not enter Germany specifically for COMAN Software, which is false. I confirm that in my discussions with the Bundespolizei upon entry to Germany on October 31, 2024, the purpose of my stay was for COMAN Software and nothing else at that time.

Arbeitgeber-Kommentar
First of all, i would like to thank you for the feedback and express my regret about the process.
Secondly, i would like to agree with you in certain respects, because what went wrong here was the communication between us. We agreed to a possible hiring after all discussions (on site) were completed. However, we seem to have had a misunderstanding about the open points.
It should not have escaped your attention that you did not have a proper interview, nor did you go through a recruitment test or speak to one of your future colleagues. Unfortunately, you had to leave before these. We had a call of 30 minutes to understand your planning and explain our support (for the documents necessary for you to enter the country).
Due to your expenses, which we do not have to bear (also because you did not enter the country especially for us ;)), we have nevertheless agreed to reimburse you a part of it because of our misunderstanding. I don't want to leave this unmentioned at this point.
Nevertheless, we wish you all the best for the future and keep our fingers crossed that you will soon be able to start a new job. We have taken advantage of this unfortunate misunderstanding and have also significantly tightened up our internal processes
