Is it just me that I find "stealth" startups seriously delusional in their own idea? Ideas are cheap, execution is difficult. Theranos was "stealth" startup to create investor impression of something like a SkunkWorks project.
"Abstain from applying if you have/expect a managerial/lead role. We need manpower, not decision makers." - You should really remove this clause from your job listing in future. It reflects bad on the position and gives no hope for the prospects to join and have a promising career that doesn't stall. It’s enough to just say “The position is for an Engineer”.
- siwatanejo 8y ago> Ideas are cheap, execution is difficult Completely agree on this, that's why the first thing we'll do when you apply is show you our working product ;) > It’s enough to just say “The position is for an Engineer”. There are many engineers so senior that they don't want to code anymore. I simply want to make it crystal clear that this position is not for them. Conspiracy theories about lack of progression are just that, conspiracy theories. Or rather, yours to judge when you know us ;)
