I know, I know, this is *yet another* AI company, but this one has robots! And okay, their Careers page is kind of hokey, but hokey is a significant step up from some of the jobs I've rated today. It's robots, y'all. Let me have this.
Also, oh my god the music in their offsite highlight reel. The sweeping camera work. The editing. You're not scoring the winning goal against the USSR, it's not the Miracle on Ice, it's a conference at a fucking Marriott. Can we bring it down a notch, Honeycomb?
You know that TikTok meme, the one where someone is doing something stupid and the saxophone just keeps getting louder? That is basically my entire career doing Bad Job Bingo on AI jobs.
Have you guys ever had to explain to customers why your product deleted their entire codebase or leaked all their sensitive customer data or facilitated a murder-suicide? No? Would you like to continue *not* having to do that? If yes, then maybe don't pick this product to support.
Either something is in the water all of these companies are drinking, or they're all using AI to write these JDs. Are they just not reading what's been written at all? For fuck's sake.
Overall, I don't think the company presents itself well, and I have concerns about what this role is expected to do. I don't think we've quite hit Seriously, Maybe Don't, but it's definitely a BINGO.
Brace yourself for an in-depth analysis of Ashby's Careers and Culture materials; I wouldn't normally do this, but considering it's hiring software, it feels appropriate.
My opinions about the gig economy aside (which are mixed—I see the benefits and the considerable downsides), DoorDash's Careers page hero is very, very red and legit hurts my eyes.
I do like their focus on actually pitching themselves to candidates as a good place to work—that's refreshing, especially after the stinkers in BINGO and Seriously, Maybe Don't.
