Hello blinders!

Wondering if any of you have a mental note of tech companies you would never considering joining, based on WLB, culture, reputation, personal experience etc, your personal “black list”
+ can you share why?

Of course this is very subjective but curious to hear people’s perspective

      Cisco is not the retirement home and they proved that last year with massive layoffs of the most experienced engineers

    • Cisco is not retirement home. Everyone scared of layoffs or their job being offshored, so they work hard. I was there. In fact, Microsoft is more relaxing than Cisco, in my experience. Don't believe what you see on Blind lol, it's an echo chamber of generalisations

      Don't mind these tbh, as long as they're reasonable. I got 1 they said should take 1 hour and had 5 not-short Qs on ML and Data Science, that was stupid.

      Had another one that was open-ended, kind of a fermi problem where you simulate something numerically. It wasnt super short but it was super interesting.

      I don't wish to contribute to the societal ills enabled and perpetuated by Facebook. Amazon isn't exactly a shining city on the hill, but IMO FB's detrimental effects to society is a whole other level.
