An example of the problem is glassdoor claiming $44k-$70k for a highly-technical position in San Antonio that requires an existing clearance. Seriously???? I smell paid services, but anyway that salary has been bit shifted. They also have lots of photos that are not us at all. There is a separate company that makes gun turrets, some place in Spain... this is simply not us at all.
So philibuster, this is not helping. Please stop. If anybody relies on a search for the company name, they might conclude that we pay top technical talent about as much as burger flippers.
I hope that the technical aspects of the jobs are what people care about. I find it weird/suspicious if the name matters, given that it is common in the USA to have multiple distinct companies with distinct benefits and culture all operating under one brand.
And I didn't even say it was suspicious that the name was omitted in the job post. I said it was suspicious that when someone asked and someone else answered, apparently incorrectly, you got defensive but still didn't issue a correction. It's weird.
The only comments ever posted by philibuster are in response to me. It's sort of a stalking thing, which should explain my irritation. Because the company lacks a web or other consumer presence, very little information can be easily found from the name. What little is out there is absurdly wrong.
When I think of "building software that spies on their fellow citizens", the first thing that pops into mind is all of San Francisco and Silicon Valley. That is the entire business model of that area, and of most of the jobs being posted here.
