Yes, it is legal, unless the revocation of the offer violates an actual signed, written employment contract for a definite or defined or set period of time (e.g. a one-year contract) which you have. Otherwise, when there is no such contract, all employment is "employment at will" and the employer may withdraw a job offer (or fire you after you have started working) at any time, for any reason--including what they believ is "behavior pattern." Without a contract, you have no right to a job or to be hired.
