Tsk tsk, I see you lowered your salary cap from 220k to 150k. I guess that's a step in the right direction (instead of lying to everyone). See this for reference: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14240175 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14240175 However, I still recommend everyone avoid this company like the plague. Read all of the past HN comments on them and their previously named company "Weeby.co" if you want to know more.

I can't speak for life in any of their offices, but just a heads up to anyone thinking of applying here: I interviewed with them, made it several rounds, and then they went radio silent, after giving me the runaround. Given they approached me, this was particularly confusing. They just seemed very disorganized. This was a few months back, so maybe they've change, but it was a complete waste of time.

  I interviewed in Eugene at a game company once many years ago. Was raining the whole time, their building was covered with moss, people were crammed in cubes in the hall, and the president handed me a written programming test. I handed it back and said no thanks and left.
