Amperity | Seattle, WA | ONSITE & REMOTE | Full-time Amperity is a startup company founded in January 2016 to tackle the problem of customer data unification at scale. We are hiring experienced engineers to write Clojure (and ClojureScript for the front end inclined) in Seattle, WA. Remote is an option as well for the right candidate. This is an early stage opportunity at an ambitious, well funded startup company. Fu…

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")

So many onsite positions in incredibly expensive areas... where's all the remote work?

Putting aside the ninja\wizard bullshit, you don't have any C++ focused positions in SF proper, do you?

I suggest searching the internet for a couple of minutes for reviews of this application process before you continue. I didn't take heed of the warnings about unresponsiveness and got bit. I submitted an application after grayfox claimed that the review process described here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11611867 was improved, and I sincerely felt that my time would be respected during the process. After subm…

Yea, I applied to Compose a while back. After they described their interview process to me, I said "No thanks." That's something I'd never done before. In the past, even if I found a company's interview process to be dehumanizing and insulting, I still went through with it. Even if I wasn't desperate for a job. I just hated to say no. Thank you, Compose, for presenting me with a hiring process so absurd it forced me…

You made the right choice!

I went through the process, did the work day, and it's actually more free work than you think and you get treated less kindly than you'd imaginine. Thanks for the 500$ i guess.
