I interviewed with them for a few different positions and worked for them once. Do not recommend. A toxic 'shark tank' like workplace culture and very middling salary.

"Even 4x2 hour interviews is still only the equivalent of a single workday." So about $400 of labor? Neither the prospective employee or employer get a good 'feel' of each other because both are giving 'performances

you kind of answered your own question with the next to paragraphs. Other car manufacturers don't call their adaptive cruise control 'autopilot' or 'full self driving'.

"Normal" cars don't call their adaptive cruise control 'autopilot' or sell "Full" self driving that doesn't exist yet. disengaging the autopilot or reducing speed at the wrong time is already occurrin

These don't contradict each other at all, unless you don't understand the fundamental idea of a team or organization. Let's say I have ten people with experience A. I add an 11th person with experience A. My team still just h

I'm pretty selective although I'm fairly low caliber. I have alternative income so I'm never in a rush to get hired. I'm sometimes surprised by weird hiring practices at a place I didn't expect. Even different posit

I mean, I'm in the same boat as you. I just hate that I have to rely on this type of information, subject to all the flaws and biases of relying on personal experience. In my experience, it's useful to have a couple 'jack-of-

The very fact that they serve many clients gives the service a good view on what generates increased response rates. I once scraped a bunch of job postings and did a simple word frequency count. Just eyeballing the list, I picked out a few
