  Their recruiters genuinely think this, which is why I decline. They have no interest in finding a good match between you and the company or why you're not interested in one specific detail. They have an opening, and you are privileged to even be contacted about the position.

    It’s not just recruiters, so many people working there seem to be legitimately brain washed. I just remembered this https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2014/mar/20/occupy-founder-obama-eric-schmidt-ceo-america https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2014/mar/20/occupy-fo... Like holy shit. It’s a joke I guess but like is it really?

      Not far from the truth. Recently started working with a former Googler, and almost every sentence starts with, "well at Google, we..." Well that's great, but you realize we're in an entirely different market and business model, right?

    You don't want to work there because they think everyone wants to work there? That seems silly. It's pretty common for all recruiters in the universe to not have the new employees best interests at heart - they mostly want to find people who can get hired.
