Earlier quoted context omitted.

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)…

I have been here literally that entire period. Nobody has ever mentioned drug testing taking place at any point.

I interviewed in NYC on October 15th, 2013, nobody mentioned urine testing.

I started working in NYC on February 10th, 2014, nobody mentioned urine testing.

I actually work in this office. You don't. Your "someone" doesn't. Your "easily findable statement" doesn't seem so easily findable. All I can find are your remarks, and one other person on HN with an eerily similar writing style.

From everything I can tell, you're just wrong and I'd appreciate it if you stopped repeating a false claim.

Neuroscience data – EEG, MRI, microscopy, genetics, and associated metadata – is some of the most complex that is used in science today. Standing alone, each component does little to solve complicated problems in research, development, and clinical care. Epilepsy, Alzheimer’s disease, multiple sclerosis, depression, Parkinson’s Disease and other neurologic conditions affect one in six people worldwide. Without the ability to work collaboratively with this data in an integrated manner, and in the relevant context including links to metadata, teams of researchers and clinicians are prevented from making fundamental discoveries that advance the field toward better medicines, devices and care delivery approaches. Blackfynn’s Data Management Platform solves this problem by enabling data integration and collaborative science. Help us solve this problem, and you will help improve the lives of tens of millions of people worldwide living with neurologic illness.

We’re a small team (4 today), well funded, and we’re looking for a fronted engineer, a full stack engineer, and a UX designer. We’re based in Old City in Philadelphia. Our stack today is Java, JS, Polymer all on AWS.
