Is the CEO qualified for his job? I'm entering day 13 of working day and night of volunteer work (with some former USDS employees) to get PPE to people who need it because the government has fallen over on its job. I believe so very deeply in our country, but I can't understand how anyone can expect to hire for 'empathetic and mission-focused' humans when the leader at the top is anything but.

Please don't. We detached this subthread from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22749542 .

Fair 'nuff -- thanks dang. It has been a long two weeks, and the fight has only barely begun.

I thought long and hard before hitting 'Send', but I was too-frustrated not to. It wasn't a political statement, but rather one about the organization under which the USDS sits.

Thanks for keeping HN, HN!

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Just to give some examples of the sort of work we're doing recently, we've been assisting the CDC with user research to improve their pages about COVID-19, we've worked with the SBA on their disaster loan assistance program, and we've built tools to provide more granular data to the coronavirus task force, not to mention the USDS folks working at specific agencies like Veterans Affairs to help ramp up capacity. There…

I'm not currently looking, but just generally curious. How does working for USDS compare to working for Google? Even though it's the tech side of government, I have to imagine the cultures are completely different.

I'm not personally familiar with Google's culture, but I came to USDS from AWS, and you're right that government work culture is pretty different from what you would see in the private sector.

One of USDS's core values is "Go where the work is," and we embed people with expertise in agencies to work on those agencies' priorities. Frequently, that means joining existing projects and working within the agency's culture (while also pushing that culture to be more flexible when necessary). USDS engagements tend to have a lot of support from agency leadership, and USDSers tend to learn ways around agency practices that get in the way, but we're very much joining and working within an existing, government work culture in each engagement rather than importing our own.
