I'm going to be in trouble when it comes time to interview again someday. I am not nearly as accepting of muscle flexing (anti-social behavior) as I was 10 years ago.
- lacampbell 7y agoYou and me both. I had to walk out of an interview because the interviewer had become borderline rude and I could not think of anything at all professional to respond with. Here's to future self-employment!
- oarabbus_ 7y agoHow'd you walk out? "Sorry, but I'd like to respect both of our time and end my candidacy here"?
- lacampbell 7y agoI literally shot up out of my seat, offered my hand and said 'thanks for your time!' and got the hell out of there. Not the smoothest, but it was just time for me to leave.
- posixplz 7y agoMakes me appreciate working for a large cloud with a core value “don’t be a jerk.”
- baseballMan 7y agoIs this Microsoft? If so, good to know they've adopted this policy!
- jfz 7y agoSounds like Pivotal, which literally has "Be Kind" as one of the three core values.

And the product itself is quite compelling. Oracle as an enterprise/legal behemoth is very different from the cloud transformation business unit.
