Make yourself known so we can all give you a round of applause. Thanks for the service, and what is it like interviewing externally?
The names of the actual companies is so cryptic/boring that they can totally pretend they work for a normal company. Interviewers who don’t do due diligence(most), won’t find out. Maybe HR will, but that’s about it.
The name is “MindGeek”, just looked it up.
Actually, they’re Aylo now: https://www.aylo.com/newsroom/mindgeek-rebrands/ Job openings: https://www.aylo.com/careers/
These are private and unlisted companies.
xvid3os is so much better
Their engg stack must be crazy well designed, some article (i think last year?) said a few sites get equivalent user engagement as Netflix (compared over a month).
Pron is usually amongst the most frequented websites. Last month, four sites were in the top 30 for user traffic: https://www.similarweb.com/top-websites/
Had MindGeek as a customer around 8 years ago. Can confirm they were/ are way ahead of the curve
In which way?
Tech stack/ capability. Sheer amount of data processing going on and this was Hadoop/ early Spark days And from a product point of view generally thought leaders, you’ll notice now they paved the way in terms of video player UX, recommendations, community before even YouTube did
Do they have good job positions in the US? Always wanted to try it out but heard they’re canadian.
What’s the size of their workforce?
1500, according to LinkedIn.
That is a solid indicator that big tech don’t need that many employees
I have a friend who was doing contractor work with one of those companies. He created an algorithm that would tag the positions by timestamp using AI. That was about 6 years ago. Now he works at Google DeepMind.
Used to work there just before it blew up and credit card companies stopped processing our transactions. Pretty ancient PHP tech stack and low pay. Boring corporate cubical farm but lots of porn always playing. You get numb to it. Their parties were pretty wild though.
Does this affect your sex life in any way?
Yeah everyone wanted to bang me all the time cause I wrote PHP.
