However, having the following as “red flags” is a “red flag” to me. Although I’d pass them, they seem more like cultural biases than appropriate measures of quality.
- “Has never worked with a previous teammate in a new company.”
- “Has never participated or built an alumni community based on previous experience”
Some of these concepts sounds like “management from hell” handbook. Sure it’s great if people want to follow you but that also makes you a massive liability to any company hiring you: people will FOLLOW you. How that is considered something positive is beyond me: one day you hear “yeah I got a new job, here’s my notice + 6 different people are leaving too, lol”. I have seen this happen, it really shook the “old team” when one of the guys took all his work friends and moved to another company.
