I interviewed there when I was almost out of college and during the lunch interview, I asked, "So, what's the work life balance look like around here? I have hobbies I'd like to keep".
The guy answered, "Well, I usually work about 70 hours a week. I only have ten good hours of work a day in me". It's possible I messed up the technical interview, but I'm sure the look on my face right then played into the rejection.
- zerr 11y agoIf people work 70hr/week in a data parsing company - I suspect they parse the data manually... :)

- peterhadlaw 11y agoI'd like to meet this data farmer in person. Can you arrange this?
- rubberstamp 11y agodata farmer is probably adding "data farmer" to dictionary
- progressive_dad 11y agoHe had to sell the server farm after "Big Data" put him out of business...
- repeek 11y agoserver farm to table
- tn13 11y agoIt is not locally produced...

But it's enterprise, so not unexpected. Enterprise contracts love to see "people working". Who cares if smarter software could eliminate most of that -- they want to see the people they bought.
