Really gives the site an "over-engineered just for funsies" look and feel. Why not just a link and be done with it? While cool the first time, it's just clutter that adds nothing of value to the site.

For a company that focuses on products that "just work, and work well" this website is giving off the wrong impression.

Are you kidding? That joke is the funniest thing I've seen on the Internet in years and the only really cool thing about the site.

Me too!

One interesting thing I've noticed is that my comments like this often get downvoted to -1 or -2, then go back up. It happened for this one. I wonder why that is. Are grumpy people more likely to get in early?

I'm surprised and impressed that this is usable on mobile though! That said, "Exit" didn't work which is a bit silly.

I was expecting a "man careers" easter egg. Bitter disappointment :(

In today's climate that joke would be considered sexist and inappropriate.
