- dasil003 16y agoI know where you are! Can you guess where I am? * 1.5 blocks away from DIFFERENT delicious Indian food * 2.5 blocks from Sprout * 3.5 blocks from Venezuelan coffee

- dasil003 16y agoYes, on the west corner!
- cristinacordova 16y agofor the win!
- dasil003 16y agoIt's also the office where Bart started Tapulous btw.
- callmeed 16y agoWhat does pulse do/make? Note: I'm asking because it's annoying when a company's blog doesn't have an obvious link back to their main/corporate site.
- cristinacordova 16y agoSorry about that. We make a visual newsreader called Pulse for iPad, iPhone and Android. Here's a link to our product page: http://www.alphonsolabs.com/products http://www.alphonsolabs.com/products Our main site is here: http://www.alphonsolabs.com/ http://www.alphonsolabs.com/
- rubyrescue 16y agonice ageism - italics theirs... "You're working around highly energetic, incredibly passionate, young people - our average age is 25."
- ootachi 16y agoThis ad is actually illegal under FEHA, isn't it?
- protomyth 16y agoNot exactly sure, I wouldn't want to chance it since California actually has some additions to the federal laws. http://www.dfeh.ca.gov/DFEH/default/ http://www.dfeh.ca.gov/DFEH/default/
- kenjackson 16y agoYeah, I loved the ageism too. Honestly, reminds me a sweatshop. A place where they hire young mediocre devs and just burns through them. You can pay them less, but get them to work exceptionally hard. I can't think of a job ad that has made me not want to work at a company as much as this one has, in a long time.
- sudont 16y agoIt's possible that "young" is a euphemism for a lifestyle that's either party-centric or bohemian. However, since I've worked with shops that actually are bohemian, age really doesn't matter. 45-year old hippies, dads that occasionally winter in France. Pulse's about page really does look very young; maybe a warning to those looking for more traditional workplace ideology. Like you said, it probably means sweatshop.
- jonknee 16y agoIt's no euphemism when they went on and added that the average age is 25.

- acangiano 16y agoAgeism in tech is rampant. If you replace age with race, it will become immediately obvious why this is discriminatory: > You're working around highly energetic, incredibly passionate, white people - almost everyone in our team has European roots. Doesn't sound so good, does it? That said, it's probably an oversight and they didn't mean it in a malicious way.
- ams6110 16y agoI would agree that it's likely not malicious, but it was a telling mistake. And it's been removed from the page now.
- akothari 16y agoThanks for the feedback. We have made edits to our post. We'd like to apologize for any perceived age bias in the blog post. We merely wanted to provide information about the team that potential applicants would be working with. Our goal is to hire the best and brightest and obviously potential applicant's age is irrelevant and will not be considered in any way.
- pclark 16y agoI found this rather amusing: "We don't care much about your college, your major or your GPA." we don't care much? I daresay this is the first time these people have ever applied or recruited for jobs..
