I have declined a few interviews from companies who claimed "this is a great place to work, because all our engineers give their 110% in everything they do."
Big red flag. I am not prepared to give 110% to anyone's who's not me or my loved ones, sorry. And the amount I expect to receive in exchange, monetary or otherwise, increases quadratically as we reach 100%.
If your engineers give more than 75% effort on average, they're lying to you, you're hopelessly naive, or you're a slave driver.
- re-thc 3y agoWhat's the point? It's all vague. How do you really tell if it's 75% or 110%? How would you even know what someone's 100% is? Is it hours worked? Is it "acts passionate"? Is it talks too much? Is it the amount of code commits?
- OJFord 3y agoAnyone (or company, but I haven't seen that) talking about '110%' of such things raises a different red flag for me anyway!
