Twice. One time it was because I previously worked with the hiring manager. That was an awesome gig. The other time, I was hired after two phone calls. I talked about my previous work. I sent them a code sample I had laying around. That was it. I didn't stay there long. The company had high turnover because they liked to micromanage their developers. That fact never came up in those phone calls. There's been a lot of discussion on HN about the ineffectiveness of interviews for assessing a candidate's work performance. What gets talked about less is that it's also ineffective for potential employees to assess their future employer. When I took the above job, it sounded great. The work was interesting. The people were fun to talk to and to work with. It was 100% remote, so no open office plan. It was everything I wanted in a job. A month later, the micromanagement started. Two months later, I was updating my resume again.
