As a vote of confidence, this article moved me from "I would never ever interview at Matasano" to "I don't want a full-time job at a security firm, but if I did, I would probably start looking here."
- tptacek 12y agoThanks! I hope that carries over to the new firm we started, too. :P
- drewcrawford 12y agoWoah! Don't be afraid to plug your new firm in the blogpost :-) I doubt I'm the only one to mistakenly ascribe your new hiring policy to your old company.
- tptacek 12y agoNo, you're not mistaken! That's how Matasano has hired for something like 2.5 years. I left the company to do hiring-related things, after feeling like I'd more or less disposed of the challenge completely at Matasano/NCC. There's a pretty big plug coming next week, though not from me. What we're doing meshes well with the worldview in my post, but it isn't a productization of it. This is just what I really think about hiring.
- x0x0 12y agoYou gave the game away completely when you named your company Starfighter. Some of us lived through the 80s too =P
- maxbrown 12y agoCan't find a lick of information about Starfighter online - is that on purpose right now then? (Pre-"plug"/launch?) Definitely curious, give us the 2-sentence version if you can?
- tptacek 12y ago2 sentences. Hmm. "The company is called Starfighter. We'll have a little more to say about it next week." :P
- hoboon 12y agoHi! I interviewed at matasano before and regret not really getting it. I think I came close but I'm eager to try again.
