Or maybe they hire thousands each year and want to ensure some consistency in the candidate selection criteria. This could result in hiring more yes-men, but the _intention_ may be different.
- scarface74 8y agoI would die a thousand deaths working in a company like that. How can you possibly build your resume if everything on starts off with, "I worked on a team that did X?" at a small company you can say "I did X, Y, Z".
- capitalsigma 8y agoBelieve it or not, engineering is highly collaborative. If your dream is to work by yourself so that nobody else can take any credit, you might be better off in a different field.
- scarface74 8y agoThere is a wide spectrum between “working by yourself” and working for a large beuracratic company where you’re just a number. I can take credit for leading a lot of initiatives at the companies I’ve worked for without being in management. It’s the difference betweeen working for small companies - or larger companies with a small development shop - and massive companies. I would never know as much as I know about networking, infrastructure, devops, architecture, security, etc. in addition to development if I spent all of my life in a large company.
