Can you please name your company? I haven't worked at FAANG but I most definitely would not want to work for a company like yours.

- Godel_unicode 5y agoI would like to know this as well. Anyone willing to write off literally millions of engineers because they happened to work at some huge companies is someone worth avoiding.
- zionic 5y ago> literally millions of engineers It’s tens of thousands, tops. And let’s be honest, most of them are highly overrated. > because they happened to work at some huge companies Because they made the choice to work at some incredibly evil corporations. Give them some credit, they didn’t sleepwalk into their roles. They did it for that fat cash, and they sold their morals out to do so. Jokes on them, I have the “fat cash” now and get to choose who I hire. Turns out I’m not a fan of the people who sold out.
- honkdaddy 5y agoSo what's the company?
- dragonwriter 5y ago> Because they made the choice to work at some incredibly evil corporations FAANG are not incredibly evil corporations. They are average evil, and incredibly successful. If you are CTO at another company and you think your company is less evil, it's probably just less successful and you’re blinded to its evil by your vested interest in changing the “less successful” part.
- ipaddr 5y agoSounds like raises would be a life and death struggle at your company.
- alexpetralia 5y agoThis comes off as rather petty, impetuous and dictatorial.
- zionic 5y agoNot going to dox myself. > I haven't worked at FAANG I doubt that. > but I most definitely would not want to work for a company like yours. You do you. But I make sure we pay way above average, I want the best people and the best people don’t work for Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Netflix, and Google.
- civilized 5y agoSo how do you hire the best people? Seems like most employers focus on name-brand resumes and leetcode. I've never met anyone who does an actual substantial interview.
- zionic 5y agoI’m not perfect. I like to hire people slowly, and meet them in person where I can. But I’ve definitely made mistakes, and so far every hire I’ve honestly regretted worked for a megacorp prior to me hiring them.
- hiq 5y agoWhat kind of mistakes did you make, what kind of bad hires did you have? I'm curious what kind of flaws would correlate with having worked for a big company before.
- tmule 5y agoYou’re a person of great conviction and superior morality — who dares not name the company and reveal their identity. I’m amused. “ I want the best people and the best people don’t work for Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Netflix, and Google.” Tell me when you hire a Yann LeCun or Jitendra Malik. Your claim is random shit-talk that’s not verifiable.
- anonymoushn 5y agoHow do the best people avoid working for CEOs who accept buyouts from FAANG?
