I had the worst interview experience there (contacted on LI and agreed to interview). Totally unnecessarily drawn out interview process that took months, with a long homework exercise only to be dinged at the very last interview with a “walk me through your resume” interview (are you kidding me).

  Ridiculous, they care about a 10+ year old GPA?

    It can be used as a conscientiousness signal.

    Yeah, and (as a brit) wtf does "60% (UK)" even mean!?

      2:2 I imagine.

        It’s a rock bottom 2:1. I find this odd. Generally a 2:1 equals a GPA between 2.8 and 3.2, depending on how strong it is. The UK degree requirement is very soft in comparison to the others.

    Because it's a list/posting written by someone who spent their entire lives in finance or consulting, and that's what they know. It's simply a transfer of culture from white-collar prestige, to tech.

  Those job requirements are a meme come to life, good lord.

  WHAT YOU'LL NEED [...] School/university Olympic medal in competitions in physics, maths or programming ..!

    That is under 'Any of the following' section, so you don't have to have that. Besides, why do you think that is wrong?
- TrackerFF 6y ago
  Yeah, you can tell from the requirements that this is someone with a background from finance or management consulting, cargo culting/copy pasting job requirements from their previous careers.
