So let me ask everyone who reads this, why would you not want to work for Scribd?
As clear by this ad, Scribd doesn't seem to be your typical company (which is a good thing). The boss is someone social (ie. actually wants to talk to people with real, live speech), they've got balls enough to tell you the truth ("We'll either all get rich or we all won't"), and even if Scribd is the worst failure in business history, you probably met/know some pretty cool people.
To many YC-wannbes focus on the code, the image, the company, the money but have no understanding that the best thing in a startup is always the people. If people stop taking everything so fucking serious, you might actually unclentch and have fun.
I wish there were more companies like Scribd, and yes I definently wish I worked for one (sadly I'm in the Navy). Trust me when I say if your <25, apply; don't think, just do it.
- plinkplonk 19y ago"I wish there were more companies like Scribd, and yes I definently wish I worked for one" I echo the regret! The startup scene in Bangalore(ideas, people , funding etc) is utterly pathetic. The options are to suffer years of yucky jobs in the USA (all the while praying for the green card to come through) or work in one of the local outsource farms.
