Agreed. Where I work we hire people from Lockheed all the time. Meta? We wouldn't touch them. Move fast and break things isn't the mentality we're looking for when working with what the Department of Homeland Security has classified as National Critical Infrastructure.
If our service goes down, civilization goes down. We can't afford to hire people who've spent a career playing games.
- dangwhy 4y ago> Meta? We wouldn't touch them. is this your employer's policy? Or do you just fail them in in the interview regardless of their performance.
- taylodl 4y agoTheir performance would be considered very carefully - and I'm not talking about leet coding exercises. We don't prioritize solving silly problems. We prioritize people who can get stuff done, using a technology portfolio that ranges from ultra-modern to 15 year legacy and make it all work together. The ability to estimate and deliver are highly prized.
