That sounds insane!?! What kind of background did these guys have that let them througt the HR process?
- pavel_lishin 15y agoNot all companies have an HR department, and those that do don't necessarily populate it with people who know code when they see it. At my current job, I have six coworkers. At my previous one, I had three. What HR?
