Run from such a company. You are just an asset to them that has to obey. You are not doing a nuclear research and there's not a reason for them to force you.

- kasey_junk 11y agoThats a pretty drastic position to take. There are any number of reasons why a company might require Windows that are perfectly reasonable. Everything from "Our clients demand it" to "we are governed by obscure legislation foo that requires software of type bar, and the best we found was goo on Windows." I'd mark it down as an oddity and ask why they have such a requirement. Their response may turn it into a red flag, but the simple requirement doesn't.
- matt_s 11y agoThis could be said of any company, even ones that let you choose your own workstation. You're fooling yourself if you think that the OS on the workstation indicates some sort of difference in your employer. If they mandated Macs with OSX would it make any difference? They are still mandating something and you are still an employee. Also, use vagrant and build your own custom box to match your production environment's OS flavor, web, app and db server versions. Even if you are on a Mac you should do this.
