Obviously an 18 year felony is much more serious but I wonder how tech companies view misdemeanors such as DUI, Possession of Marijuana, Domestic Battery, etc?

- rdl 14y agoTech companies in the bay area would probably wonder WTF you got arrested for marijuana or other minor drug offenses. DUI I think would be a more serious issue, depending on the area. In the Bay Area, DUIs are pretty frowned upon, since there are other transportation options. I think they're much more accepted in rural areas. I know plenty of tech people who have convictions for assault (bar fights), drugs, computer crime (particularly as kids), etc.
- check33 14y agoI wonder if tech companies in general would be more tolerant since they tend to have more laid back cultures compared to corporate environments.
