Walmart using their market power in one industry to charge below market rates in another, driving out competition. This is going to destroy health care options in areas that are already under served.

This looks interesting, but your application form disallows pdf resumes and doesn't list the accepted formats.

hiredman··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (August 2016)
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")
