bohnejon Ask HN: Who is hiring? (May 2017)

when I interviewed, take-home challenge took 5+ hours, 2 weeks for review, was given incorrect feedback from a different candidate, then rejected after further review without the option to correct a silly mistake I made. Wouldn't recommend applying here.

  Primarily an Android developer here.

I have multiple years of Android development experience with 8 months full-time. 3 personal apps on the play store. I adhere to the material design guidelines well these days and consider myself to be good in Android product design.

"We're excited to review your application and will contact you within two weeks if there's interest in moving forward with your candidacy.

If you don't hear back from us, we'll keep your application on file for future consideration."

No resume response.

It's debatable if one has "good communication skills" or not. This is what I'm saying. If you talk to someone different they would have a completely different viewpoint on your "skills." Nothing objective in that. Plus, you can't really judge how well you talk with a client in an interview since the interviewer is not a client of the company.

I was informed by a recruiter that they aren't hiring in 2015 anymore so this post is a bust.

bohnejon Ask HN: Who is hiring? (December 2015)

They don't respond to applicants.

bohnejon Ask HN: Who is hiring? (December 2015)

They reject people for debatable reasons such as "communication skills." Don't apply here.

You'll never get feedback on rejection during this company's interview process in my experience.

I never got a response. Did anyone else?

That blog post and job description vary a lot, especially the skills and qualifications section.

They didn't respond to my application either.

It was difficult based on the description to find out that this is actually a sales job and not a programming job.

One of their job descriptions says that the only two full-time engineers are the co-founder (Adam) and product development (Ouziel).

I don't understand. These types of websites have existed for a long time. This is nothing new. Most people have found out that hidden-city ticketing doesn't work either on round-trip flights because the airlines will cancel the rest of the trip if they find out. It only works for one-way trips with carry-on bags only.

It's optional.

This may be moot since I never got an application response, but the full-stack description in OP doesn't include Android.

bohnejon Ask HN: Who is hiring? (October 2014)

Not easy to get into this company. Not sure what they are looking for.

Vurb confuses me because it says "Engineering All Levels" on vurb.com/jobs but then this post says "Lead Android Engineer." What do you really want?

When you say Python, do you mean in terms of web development?

bohnejon Ask HN: Who is hiring? (October 2014)

I doubt many of these companies are hiring non-programmers for engineering roles. Sometimes people post designer jobs if you're into that though.
