Comments are discouraged and moderated away on regular job postings in the whoishiring threads as well, for the same reasons - job posts can't function as job posts if every single one of them turns into a discussion of the company in general. Posts about companies doing lame things get posted on HN all the time and many are quite popular and get plenty of discussion. There's usually at least one on the front page more or less daily.
