i applied for a job with expensify about 3 months ago. the interviewer asked in what language i wrote a web app from my portfolio. i said c#. he said, and i quote "you can make websites in c#?" he literally had never heard of asp.net. yet is ragging on .net in this blog post.
their office was just 1 room, with 3 guys sitting at a single table. they kept offering me a beer. i guess it was to seem hip, seeing there's no real reason to have a beer during a job interview.
another funny thing from applying is in the coding test they show you how to connect to their api using javascript, but it would never work because of cross domain restrictions. they probably have only tried it over localhost ;p
i wound up not getting the job because i used the kohana mvc framework in the coding test and they 'couldnt understand my code.' i think in all i wrote less than 150 lines of clear, commented code, but they dismissed it outright because i used these things called classes. im sort of glad i didnt get the job, because i got a job paying literally double their offering salary the next day.
