Re:Ask HN: How do you find a "boring" tech job? by muzani on Monday July 01, 2024 @11:59PM (#40853433)
Haha I interviewed at one of those. Big corp, wanted to become bigger than Google. They took out all the old boring furniture and cubicles, replaced them with beanbags and uncomfortable tables and chairs. Drab walls were replaced with colorful offices. Suits were replaced with t-shirts and sneakers. Benefits of the lowest level was set equal to the highest (this was probably what increased productivity).

I asked them if they offered a company laptop, they thought the idea was absurd. Some are still writing blogs on how Agile worked for them.

I didn't get a second interview; the first wasn't even technical. I guess I wasn't a cultural fit, compensation fit, or they didn't know what to make of my CV at the time.
