All the spin in the world will not change facts.
My TWO phone interviews were in Oct. 2006 so that was after you became
manager. After the second "interview" it became clear to me that your
company has no interest in hiring a seasoned 16+ year Mac veteran and
author of 18 successful commercial Mac products. If those qualifications
are not good enough, then your goal is obviously something other than
hiring the best.
The fact is, like so many companies today, you run a cheap imported
labor sweat shop and when your cheap, inexperienced, third-world
programmers can't do the job, you "interview" people like me to get the
knowledge you need to give to your people who can't otherwise do the
work. Your compatriot, Tenzen Wild informed me the two "programmers" the
candidate would be working with where imported from China with little
experience.
Any company which conducts exploitative interviews is committing fraud
and fraud is a criminal act. Criminal and "legitimate" do not go together.
You claim to have hired "4 full-time Mac developers". Will you please
tell the list their names, nationalities, and how we can contact them?
Put your money where your mouth is and prove it to us. I am willing to
wager $1000 that at least 3 of them are imported cheap-labor foreign
nationals. Do you have the guts to accept a $1000 bet? In fact, I have
notified DHS, ICE, BCIS and the FBI that you are conducting visa fraud
because you are pretending to hire Americans, when in fact you are doin
the opposite. Do you think we are all stupid?
I see that you yourself are from Belgium. One can hardly imagine a more
America-hating socialist European nation than that.
I don't doubt your work has been on the covers of major fashion
magazines - it's not surprising given the corrupt nature of the fashion
industry. Just because you are successful does not mean you are honest.
I would warn all serious American Mac developers to stay as far away
from Box as possible because they have no intention of hiring you. They
only want to gain your knowledge for free and give it to their cheap
imported programmers who are incompetent.
This is the age of exploitative interviews. And Box is the master of that.
