- cl42 3y agoJust want to say that your remote-first culture and compensation structure is admirable. Kudos to you and the entire company!
- bill_duckduckgo 3y agothank you!
- zerr 3y agoAlthough it is concerning they post the same openings again and again.
- reader_1000 3y agoAgreed and they reject applications with the reason they hired somebody else, though keep posting here
- jcpeden 3y agoYeah, they've been posting these roles for months. I contacted a few folks that worked at DDG and I had 2nd degree connections with on LI though and they all had positive things to say.
- shrimpx 3y ago> If you're curious, we mostly use Perl. Holy crap, really?!
- seesaw 3y agoPerl was my first programming language. After more than two decades, it is still the language I feel the most efficient in. Glad to see Perl is still alive and kicking !
- shrimpx 3y agoIt was my first language, too, that I learned to write “serious” programs in. I just didn’t think a prominent modern company would choose Perl as their main language. Props to them.
- zerr 3y agoSuch choices always come down to personal preferences of tech founders.
- icedchai 3y agoI wrote my first web apps in Perl, way back in the 90's! "use CGI" anyone?
- shrimpx 3y agoSame here. I also built a few web backends using Apache mod_perl, which was insanely fast compared to CGI.
- stasmalyshev 3y agoPHP started as mod_perl app, too.
- stasmalyshev 3y agoOh yes, those were the days!
- doublemint2203 3y agowhat's the word on interns? given a good enough student/candidate? :)
- crossroadsguy 3y ago> All of our roles are fully-remote What are the availability requirements for these remote roles? Is it "you are available" whenever we need it, or there is a reasonable expectation set in the beginning? If you have an "on-call" system, what is that policy? How does that affect people in different time zone? It affects employees' health. Does it not? A person I knew (not from my home country) worked at DDG for few months and left and let's just say he did not have very admirable things to say about the culture. I apologise if you don't find this comment in good taste but I believe this is an important question about a job. People sleep at night and go on vacation oner weekends and an employer that keeps it "veiled" is not healthy. I had attended your calls (3 calls) and when I asked this question you all went radio silent. No response, no explanation, nada! Why not have some clarity about this? Am I the only one who thinks about this aspect of this job? I mean this is a very important part of a job. It's not even about "I am not available psst 6pm", it's about - "set an expectation please!" Why? I admire what DDG is trying to do (and that is why I singled out your post) but the people and culture behind the company that runs all that are very important too. DDG is not just another search company for me at least.
