I read that and I roll my eyes about how SF startup-focused it is, but to me it says it's an impressionable kid who reads too much Tech Crunch. What specifically makes you not want to hire him?
IMO, risking everything for the big payout and good odds of ending up in a good position at one of the top big techs would have been the reason to quietly select Zenefits or similar. Uber is unlikely to cash out and unlikely to offer much equity to the fair weather friends that are knocking on its door now.
Wow... The glassdoor reviews are damning[1]. Their new board better look into what's really going on down there. That's no sustainable way to run a "4 billion dollar company."
Ugh, god forbid a future employee might not be a "true believer" and have other goals and aspirations then making their next company the best thing ever.
