Earlier quoted context omitted.

Pivotal NYC most definitely did, not too long ago.

I've worked at Pivotal NYC for nearly 30 months. Nobody has ever asked me. Nobody has ever spoken about taking a test. Nobody has announced any such policy, or even hinted at it. Nobody has ever told me they were asked, including the candidates I have interviewed. Your remarks are worse than hearsay.

My information comes from someone who accepted a job offer there -- and was sent to a lab to take such a test -- and from conversations with employees at that office approximately 2 years ago. (Who both basically said, "Yeah, I don't like it, but what are you going to do?")

There were also, at the time, easily findable statements from one of your founders (not on your websites; it was in an interview done somewhere) in which they touted the benefits of drug screening, as it it were a key ingredient to their success (like pair programming, and making everyone work the exactly the same hours).

Perhaps the policy has since been phased out, and/or it was only applied to certain groups (or applied inconsistently during latter stages). If it hasn't come up in conversation during your time there, that may be because... it's not something people like to talk about. But by all indications it was definitely a thing at Pivotal, at one point.

Factual - Los Angeles, San Francisco, Shanghai

Factual is currently hiring engineers and data lovers of all levels in the SF Bay Area, Los Angeles, and Shanghai.

Factual’s location platform enriches mobile location signals with definitive global data, enabling personalized and contextually relevant mobile experiences. Built from billions of inputs, the data is constantly updated by Factual’s real-time data stack. We were named one of "50 Disruptive Companies in 2013" by MIT Technology Review. We have a terrific team that is still fairly small and an incredible CEO who was previously the co-founder of Applied Semantics (which was bought by Google and became AdSense). Factual has venture funding from Andreessen-Horowitz and our partners/customers include Facebook, Yelp, Trulia, and Newsweek.

There are many challenging problems to work on at all layers of the stack: data cleaning and canonicalization, storage, deduping, serving, APIs, improving data using machine learning, etc. A great example is one of our most recent products, Geopulse Audience, which stands at the intersection of high quality places data and large scale analysis of user geo-data: http://www.factual.com/products/geopulse-audience . If you love data, Factual is the place to be. Our main criteria are that you're smart and get things done, but you'll get bonus points for experience with Clojure (http://www.factual.com/jobs/clojure), machine learning, NLP, algorithm design, or Hadoop.
