Crappy Laptop, Stubborn Boss
Crappy Laptop, Stubborn Boss
Decent pay for remote engineer
Asked what kind of laptop and OS I wanted, then sent a crappy Dell laptop with Windows.
Boss always knows "exactly how to implement this."
Talked to boss about how tedious it was to work with the codebase. His response was, "You'll get used to it." They had their own transpiler, so I recommended a way to avoid doing what they were doing (I can't divulge the details, unfortunately), and his response was, "What we have is explicit. We like explicit, and we're not changing it."
Hire smart people and listen to them, instead of telling them what to do.

Take-Two Interactive Interview Experiences
Software Developer
When I interviewed, there was a single day full of rounds of panels, with a practical technical exercise in the middle. All told, there were about four hours worth of interviews, but it was a pleasant experience overall.
Senior UI/Frontend Engineer
I had an initial phone call with the Technical Recruiter, followed by an interview with the Hiring Manager. The Hiring Manager seemed unprepared and perhaps unqualified to be doing the interview. He ended it early after hardly asking any questions.
Junior Web Developer
Had two interviews. Both went pretty well. The first was a basic screening, and the second was a more in-depth interview where I was asked about my experience with the specific tools of the job by the person who the position would work directly with
