In this era, you are only allowed to express positivity or neutrality. Instead of expressing negativity to any degree, you are expected to allow the other person to stay in their bubble, perhaps silently judge them, and…
It's really important to be able to fairly criticize a company for their interviewing/hiring practices. I think it's in-context if they are a poster on Who is hiring. Some of us recognize the regulars on here. We want…
The OPM hack is something that already happened, in the past, to files that were current at that time. It is not known to be ongoing.

Perennial poster. They told me that the SRE position is in NYC, not Oslo, and it is not open any more.
I visited their office. Stiffest interview I've had in memory. One guy transcribed my answers on his laptop "so there's no question about what you said, and we can analyze your answers later". Nothing negative ever…
