Considering the discourse of the past two years and personal experience, I am afraid to say that yes, those are most likely very real people who very openly ignore 50% of the context and generalize their hate towards a whole population of a

I was born in one of the poorest countries in Asia, so I can imagine rather low quality of life and working conditions. And I know pretty well that people who work in real old school sweatshops will never read this article. By other hand, i

If recruiters from the company well known for free hackers culture are doing this today - I would assume that less open companies could start free working month practices tomorrow. It seems like it was a mistake and miscommunication. I coul

Thanks for sharing your experience. I have heard a lot of good things about Facebook before - and my totally opposite experience was one of the reason for exaggerated reaction. I agree that there are jobs where I would love to spend days, w

An update was published after Facebook's representative contacted me. Let's hope I was the only guy who was treated in such an ugly way.

If it would be a real time interview - for sure. But after sending CV I just got that mail with task. Let me underline it - they never TALKED to me. They asked if I want to send them CV - and right after I got this. I don't have any pr

Yup, agreed with this completely. But it doesn't mean this is a right way. I definitely don't want end up in a future 10 years later where every company asks for unpaid work as an interview taking example from the Big Guys. Do you

Thanks. Yeah, I understand how it seems to be childish, but I couldn't expect this behavior and approach from Facebook, known for it's great open culture. It rather reminded me too strongly about my employer (tiny tech sales compa

10 hours. It's the time I have spent last week for some open-source coding. I was happy to give my time for free to those projects I supported. It's about 10 hours that I have spent with a friend of mine who visited me from other
