tbh I think I would want a Real Engineers office to be a serious environment in fact in general I think i would prefer an evironment that takes itself somewhat seriously, minus dress codes because I can't be bothered with that anymore

The Management posted:lol, company had me do an online exam (which I aced), then a phone screen, and now they want me to do a phone interview (shared code viewer) before the in person interview. with most companies I would tell them to gently caress themselves, but this is one where I can't really do that. ugh. ~loving tech~ certainly at some point they will catch you for the obvious fraud you are  *requires candidates to go through approximately 12+ hours of interviewing, utilizing department employees as interviewers, including multiple panel interviews* interviewing people is so expensive, we need more barriers to optimize the cost!

my previous company had job titles with some semblance of ordinality their magic trick was having different titles within those ranks worded in a way that you wouldn't think much about the differences between them, and their job duties might be pretty much indistinguishable, but they linked to different compensation plans like one guy might be a senior application developer when another person on the same project was a senior systems engineer and another was a senior project engineer and they would all be performing about the same duties but have completely different compensation plans

vodkat posted:Wait, you have to pay your own company $350 a month for parking? Lmfao My old workplace made us pay for parking in a garage I'm pretty certain they owned. I'm sure they would try to brush complaints off by saying it was to pay the parking management company and they couldn't give it to employees because that wouldn't be fair to the employees that don't drive or parked in another structure. They also wouldn't allow us to park there on weekends or evenings and would sell spots after hours for sports and other events

Caltech didn't have women's restrooms in its engineering buildings at one time and some tech conferences have closed women's restrooms and relabeled them as men's so be careful what you ask for

Double Bill posted:Interview hell final report: 4 weeks, 4 companies, 9ish interviews (can't remember it's all a blur now). Dropped out of one after first interview (total garbage fire). Timed coding test, whiteboarding, aptitude test (with a literal IQ test), all forms of misery. Two offers, took the one with slightly less figgies but much more interesting domain/company/product. I thought iq testing for employment was illegal, hence all the proxy iq testing? Then again maybe it's not because America

lol plenty of coding bootcamps are ran by partnerships of companies and you're just paying for your own training, and they can just hire the people that are successful rather than firing low performers later on people praise something that basically demonstrates that lots of companies could just hire a variety of people and train them for the job but only executives and skilled union labor get to train on the job now

my job has a base-level additional contribution amount + an additional matching schema im not sure if its for means testing reasons; salaries around here are probably kind of weird in some cases but it also might be some employee consolation since they got rid of offering pensions to employees at a point in the past
