When I saw the headline I had a feeling it would be Turing. I was contacted by a recruiter last year and had a couple conversations about joining them as they were looking for an IT guy - the CIO was doing all of that work and they wanted someone else to be hands-on and eventually build a team. Sounded like a great opportunity and things were progressing. Then I bothered to Google them...
Once I read up on Martin Shkreli I told them that I did not think it was the kind of place for me and withdrew. I have no idea if they would have hired me or anything, but just reading about him gave me a sick feeling in my stomach.

- imdsm 11y agoMaybe they bought his apartment and put his rent up by 5,455%
- thomnottom 11y agoI never got a direct response from them, but since the recruiter continued to reach out to me for other opportunities they must not have been too upset about me bailing on the meeting. I did avoid using any terms like "criminal behavior" in my response. :)
- thomnottom 11y agoJust wanted to clarify one mistake - it was actually February of this year. I checked my emails after seeing the dates listed in the articles.
