I applied at Amperity, went in and did a day of interviews. After that I was told they decided to go with another candidate. Now I see them still hiring everywhere. Was it the polite brush off? Are they actually hiring? Would they get annoyed if I applied again?

I emailed Derek to ask what is going on, and his response indicated that they are not actually hiring, and just checking to see if any one in a million candidates reply to their job postings.

So I give interviewing with Amperity an F and suggest anyone who can interview elsewhere do so and skip them.

(Also, "remote for the right candidate" really means "no remote")
