Ask HN: Who is hiring? (September 2016)

I interviewed with google last month. I met like ~20 people who were also interviewing at google at the hotel breakfast. Some of them said they have been prepping for the interview everyday for past 4 months ( didn't help with my confidence :)).

Reception at google was filled with 100s of people waiting for their turn to be picked up. And this was just one building among of many, many buildings. Lady at the reception at Avis car rental told me that they get 100's of people coming everyday for interview at google. It was bizzare and surreal to experience 'interview industrial complex' first hand.

We are an industrial IoT company that allows manufacturers to optimize processes and produce more output with less input by improving efficiency and reducing waste products. Our goal is to create smart factories using cutting edge technologies. We are currently funded, w/ a small # of employees. Now is a great time to get in ;) Stack: Python, React, ConcourseCI, Cassandra, KairosDB, MongoDB, Go (nothing is set in stone, we value engineers that take a scientific approach to evaluating all possible solutions — help us decide!)

Right now we're focusing on hiring for a Hardware and a Product/UX position.

First of all, a bit about us!

Cloudreach is an idea that started out in a London pub. We’re now a global cloud enabler and partner with the very best cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, Salesforce). We have hubs in Europe and North America, with more certified technical staff than anyone else in the world. Cloudreach works on challenging technical projects such as data centre migrations, data analytics, and managing digital estates. This is not your average company; we keep our feet on the ground and our heads in the cloud.

We are looking for Dev Ops Leaders, Dev Ops Lead and Dev Ops Engineer for our amazing office in Edinburgh who have a passion for operations and are keen to further their career in a fast growing company. We subscribe to the concept of "DevOps", where we use development skills in the operational environment in order to increase service quality. Typically our customers use an extensive array of technology running on either Linux or the Microsoft stack. The intent is to fix or work around the root cause of operational issues, so that they do not re-occur.

We are looking for:

For engineers, 3- 5 years ops experience and (depending on the role) at least 12 months leadership experience

Excellent technical knowledge with some or all of our partner solutions (Alert Logic, AWS, Microsoft Azure, Chef, BitDefender, CloudEndure and many others) and be able to present and articulate these concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences.

Scripting and Automation experience of Operating Systems and Services

Solid understanding of current and future best practices for IT operations and how to adapt these to support the delivery of cloud based Operational services at a global scale (e.g. DevOps, Bimodal, ITIL and others).

I applied for the position position of Full stack developer and i had a skype interview with one of your engineers. I was given an assignment which the engineer who took my skype interview acknowledged and said he has passed it on to engineers who review the assignment and would get back to me in couple of days, which he never did. I have even followed up twice but haven't received any reply yet.

With those assumptions, at (10 × a few days), a job hunt eats at least one and probably several years of combined "career advancement and job hunting" time.

That would seem to make it, yes, an unreasonable burden.
