Between this and their license change fiasco it seems like they're trying to speedrun their way to "company most hated by developers". That said they're apparently making a lot of money doing it, so what do I know.

This happened to me when I was in college and cost me a few hundred dollars. It caused so much stress, and no human was willing or able to help me. As far as I'm concerned Google robbed me.

I didn't say they were going to interview people, just that I was told that each person would be reviewed separately and given custom offers based on their actual background. Then after being strung along for a month on that lie, I was

They weren't clear about anything with me- I had to really push to even know information about what the new insurance would look like. It was a very stressful situation, and while I do blame the horrible leadership at Kenna for a lot o

When I was at Malwarebytes (I left in 2014) I helped with two acquisitions. In both cases we took care of all of the people in the new company and rolled them into Malwarebytes. M&A can be done without being ethically and morally bankru

I'm kind of amazed that AWS is the cheapest on this list, as they're typically the first example people give when they talk about overcharging for bandwidth. When I worked at Malwarebytes between 2008 and 2014 we measured our band

In my experience it's a positive sign to have an active Github profile or open source contributions, but it is not a negative sign if a candidate doesn't have one. At higher levels (Principal, Distinguished) you often have to show
