A friend of mine was doing an almost week long (thankfully paid) interview with Automatic for a senior data engineering position. These are the folks being Wordpress and Hey — the DHH company — anyway. Long story short while he was working on tasks in this weird ass way to interview about half way into the week he gets a message saying the role had been closed. Suddenly. There was no inkling or hint that the role was tenantive. Shortly before he he process to interview and maybe hire my friend there was some message or rumor that they were trying to scoop up laid off Twitter employees. I dunno. It seems shady. Avoid Auromatic not for the politics but because it’s not well run at all.
