It's hilarious that you think this is paranoia. I almost wish I could live in your rose-tinted world, where no one lied ever, references were a good way to judge coding ability, and apparently all new grads magically have relevant ref

> The whole discussion here of software engineers with 20+ years of experience having to code up fairly simple things on a white board is very strange to me, and fairly far outside my experience. Once you start interviewing people with a

> A good way to confirm that they know their stuff is to talk to their references. What tasks did they do there? What problems were solved using what tools and techniques used? Nobody knows their skills better than those who already work

I though that, too. But then I heard from a co-worker that some companies do ask grads to take technical quizes/tests.

It's always amazed me that they don't just give you a laptop to code on.

How do you get them to demonstrate successful problem solving and coding and design abilities without seeing them code, then? You're right that it's kind of a silly test, but the problem is that it's a key part of their job

How exactly do you think a resume review will reveal how in depth they went on projects and coding? Or even a 15 minute phone screen that has no coding involved? It's pretty easy to list interesting sounding projects you worked on an

I'd guess you haven't interviewed that many people then. IME, lots of people look like they'd be good fit for a higher position like architect, but then when asked to code up a somewhat simple problem they perform far worse

Not in my limited experience. I was surprised how little the guy seemed to check when I dropped the car off.

It's 8:52 now, wtf is going on?

They can't get jobs at other companies in the US, doing similar work?

Unsanctioned by Amazon? You'd get in serious trouble for that.

Is it still that bad?

You're always living in the future if you wait a second.

It's an archaic spelling, which is always cooler. :)

> I don't (yet) care about money. Will you be happy if the startup goes under and they've been paid and you haven't?

Will you send them my resume? Is there something like glassdoor for startups so people can try to avoid startups like this?

What does the CTO say about the CEO's behavior?

by g8gggu89 11y ago
Is the CEO working these same crazy hours? Does the CEO get paid properly and on time? Are you getting paid a reasonable amount, really? Where's the funding coming from and why don't they hire another engineer when they clearly

Interesting spelling of 'phantasies'. I hadn't seen that before.

I lasted about 1.5 years each at my first 3 jobs, then I moved to a company I've been at for 4 years. No one questioned anything at any job about past employment lengths. I'm starting to think I should have moved on long ago. &g

There's way too much touching/clicking here, from what I see. This looks painfully slow.

I want a tour of your dorms and factories. Can you post pics of a bunch of the buffet meals, please?

But they are all either very inexpensive or there are knockoffs or used versions that are very inexpensive.

Whoa, 5 people cried out on twitter? Clearly we need to ban him now.

You should have called it the clamshell.

How is that better? You just don't want to spend the time to shuffle a deck if only a few cards will be used? Or you are worried someone might cheat by being able to read card order ahead of time?

Can you go into more detail backing up your assertion?

What did you have to clean up exactly?

Where I work it's 5k for some positions (or maybe even only 3k?), and about half that for most positions. I've also worked places where the rules kept shifting and/or were always overly complex, like we were doing door to do
