Interview land
Derek and the team have been interviewing candidates for various positions this week. It’s been really interesting how far Derek, Bruno, Mat and others have been able to take our interview process in terms of evaluating the skills of different people. I’ve never been interviewed for a real job, I founded Stardock while in college until I could get a real job – which I’ve never gotten yet. So my knowledge on what a good interview process is comes second hand.
One area I do care about a lot is cultural fitting. We have basically zero voluntary turn over here. And I think a lot of the reason is how fun the environment is. It’s a weird crew here. A silly silly crew.
Speaking of weird, I don’t normally pimp other people’s books but Cracked.com has released a hilarious new book that I highly recommend (You Might Be a Zombie and Other Bad News.. ) holy cow is this hilarious. But to get an idea of our culture here, this is the sort of thing we talk about a lot (weird stuff).
