So for the people who didn't read the article, here are some of the form questions > What is your age? > HIRING CHALLENGE: Find our recenter browser plugin (it is open-source). Understand what it is for and suggest an interesting and personally useful feature you can add to it. Go through the code and share a brief note on how you would go about building this feature, and why. Note: Send us an email once you have thought this through, have put together the design doc, and are ready to start coding. > We don't measure how many hours you are at the office. What matters is whether the work gets done. We are reasonably flexible with hours. Currently, we operate around a 10:00 AM - 6:00 PM work cycle. Some things you work on will require more hours and effort, sometimes intense, and some won't. There may be a fair bit to pick up in your early days. You will likely need to put in more time, and that will pay dividends later.

Also: The "everyone will lie question" > Do you understand that being authentic and true to yourself in your answers here will help you in the long run? the "embrace the suck" question > What do the words gratitude and humility mean to you? the one stolen from 'Google interviews': > Here's a fun question: Someone who eats meat often has an allergic reaction. What are some likely reasons for this? and obviously > What do you think your annual salary should be? So they can lowball you. This is about the most toxic interview process I've seen. No wonder good candidates go elsewhere.

  I once had an employment contract that said I would work from 9am to 5:30 pm and any other hours the company deems necessary.
