Guys I’m not salty, I’m sweet :3 But for real, I think this company is super promising. Most FANG company have their own in-house system for hiring labelers, and I know that it’s extremely valuable for any ML team. Getting trusted, reliable and cost effective labeled data is not easy for smaller companies. I actually feel honored that I even got to interview for them in the super early stages.
It is pretty lame how companies can make you do free work for them, make you sit through a cringy interview answering their stupid brainteasers, and then ghost you.
This is why I would never work for a startup. "Many hats" is codeword for we need someone we can take advantage of doing work equivalent to multiple roles while paying them like they only work one.
Applied for a job at UPS a while back and at least they were kind enough to reject me with an email. Small companies, It’s not hard to email 5 words to candidates “The position has been filled”
Leaving him without the respond was disrespectful. This shows how the company treats people, makes me sick of them. It`s not all about money, afterall don`t forget the courtesy.
"Even his name sounds like a startup." 😂
Honestly in shock you still have... everything.
We are delighted to see our cheat sheet included in your preparation strategy.
“I’ll try to remember something I learned from one of Joma’s videos during the final” My mind during the final: “Baby cow, Baby cow, Baby cow, Mama cow”
The ghosting by employers... It really shows a lack of maturity. Seems pretty rampant in the industry, also. Companies don't have to go into specifics and incur liability, but getting back to candidates in a timely manner should happen every time.
joma's tinder message 😂
NEVER EVER send code of the interview project to a potential employer, unless it's snippets of code u done before... Some companies actually take your code and ghost u, if they are that interested in seeing your solution ask for a zoom call and u can demonstrate it, if they get bitchy about it, u ghost them and watch how quickly they wanna get back to u as u probably can do the code
Wait, isnt this guy one of the youngest billionaire now LMFAO
Scale AI didn't even interview me and straight up sent me a rejection email after I applied lol.
I feel identified with you. I had an interview that they sent me to carry out a project, the application works well and passed the tests, I never had a feedback and they didn't say thank you, that experience taught me not to carry out more projects for startups or any small business anymore. joma you are awesome guy, thank you for sharing your experience
"As a startup, we look for someone who can wear many hats." Ah yeah so that means we are cheap and lazy, you have to do everything but we won't pay you more money for it.
My takeaway from this video: Baby cow Baby cow Baby cow Mama cow
It definitely seems like they were fishing for free sample implementations of their basic framework to see different technical directions it could go. Cool approach, but you should be paying people to do that. Asking people to do it for free leads me to to believe you might treat future ethical matters with a total lack of ethics. This is a red flag especially in a machine learning company outsourcing labor, lots of ethical areas where you can violate privacy and take advantage of workers. The founders have shown questionable ethics from the start, so I certainly won't be choosing their service now.
Joma you were solicited for work,it wasn’t a test,this happens a lot,the point of tests is to asses someone’s ability,the reason they said in the beginning not to share with anyone is so that they don’t get caught publicly with this.Dont beat up yourself over it.It was messed up of them.
