- protomyth 11y agoAre you referring to this http://www.quora.com/What-is-the-best-way-to-start-my-career-Uber-or-Zenefits/answer/Parker-Conrad http://www.quora.com/What-is-the-best-way-to-start-my-career... answer by Benefit's CEO? I'm not sure of the connection between that and this story. I guess you could be going for a reckless attitude in one area might translate to lawsuits in another area?
- smileysteve 11y ago> if you have to ask how it's like to work here, you won't fit in here? The response was more, if you know that you'll find the work at Uber or another company more exciting, then we wouldn't want you to work here. It was really a matter of phrasing/tact on the applicant's part and hubris on this CEOs part - you want people to be excited about working for you, but you also want the humility to be able to see how it fits in their career path.
- runamok 11y agoYes this is the same CEO but your summary isn't quite right. He was trying to figure out a pros and cons of Uber vs. Zenefits and for instance he asked: "My biggest problem with Zenefits is that it isn't a buzzword like Uber. Most people won't know what Zenefits is (or so I think). I think that this isn't as exciting a brand name to have on your resume when applying to the likes of Google."
