Comment on RethinkDB is hiring C/C++ engineers with irrational desire for world domination

Comments

I think I might be somewhat representative of the target audience for interns (maybe), so here's my two cents

  - Really cool stuff.  Anything heavily concurrent in C is just cool.  
    Highlighting that even more is going to get you more of the right 
    kinds of candidates IMHO.
  - Call for interns in the fall.  Offers start going out for 
    internships in the late fall and early winter.
  - The world domination stuff is hokey.  Every company is feeding 
    us this stuff.
  - Do interns get free housing?  What are the perks?
  - Your pay for interns is very standard (which is a good thing).
But seriously, very cool ad.

Thanks for your feedback, we'll incorporate it into the jobs page. To answer some points here, we do not arrange housing for the interns (you can probably crash our place until you find a sublet, and we can put interns in contact with each other so they can self-organize). We didn't completely define the perks yet, but it'll be pretty standard stuff.

I agree that the world domination stuff is hokey, but it's catchy and it grabs people's attention, so it serves its purpose pretty well.

If in doubt, apply! We're pretty flexible when it comes to the details.
