I think it's terrific that they post things like that so openly. If I were ever going to apply for a job again (and I hope never to), I would definitely read up about the company and read at least some of their blog posts. And if I found a post both so intensely dim and so offensively exclusionary as the one on archive.org that you link, I would immediately know that this was not a company for me. My personal favourite bit is sneering at the guy for saying "you can never overdress for an interview" - I can just imagine the poor candidate sitting there in his suit, feeling horribly out of place amongst these imbeciles, trying desperately to make light of his situation with that remark (it's probably just what I would say myself, in fact) and unwittingly providing more fodder for their asinine blog.

I was once in that situation and my life-saver was: "Yeah, I'm a big Leonard Cohen fan". Turned out the team-lead was as well. It got me through the awkward moment, but I didn't get the job.

It's interesting that they've removed that post from their blog. I just asked Jason on Twitter why they removed it: https://twitter.com/JackGavigan/status/620915571052412928 https://twitter.com/JackGavigan/status/620915571052412928

    Now I feel slightly (only slightly) bad for using the word "imbecile".
