Their staff is also a nightmare. I heard from friends that they had to sign an NDA just to interview, and even after that the interviewer gave away nothing about what my friend would be working on or what the job would entail. Needless to say he rejected the offer and went for a better job (I think Google or something)
- MegaButts 7y ago> I heard from friends that they had to sign an NDA just to interview Is this not standard practice? I honestly can't remember the last time I didn't sign an NDA before interviewing.
- jasondclinton 7y agoThe OP's relayed complaint was that they would not tell him what he would be working on. A good reason not to accept a job.
- mrep 7y agoGranted, I've only interviewed at public companies, but I've never signed a NDA in my life.
- wpietri 7y agoAre you sure? The large companies I visit, and quite a number of small ones, have NDAs as part of the sign-in process.
- strictnein 7y agoNo NDA when interviewing at the Fortune 100s/Global Fortune 500 I've worked at.
- wpietri 7y agoI just double-checked, searching my email archives from everything from Envoy, a common front-desk app. Some of these places were interviews; most were just visiting somebody. All of them had NDA language, including these companies: Asana, Blink Health, Lever, Lyft, NerdWallet, Reddit, Slack, StitchFix, and Twilio. Just to walk in the door. Maybe those folks are all outliers somehow. But I doubt it.
- strictnein 7y agoSounds like it's mostly an SV thing then? A lot of things are handled very differently out there.
