People, I think we’re missing some of the other buried gold here. Some highlights:

We do a daily standup where we don't discuss why something is late. Instead we each spend 10 seconds on what we actually shipped today.

So if I’m blocked on Jim, and Jim is shipping his own features and ignoring me, Jim looks good and I look bad. Cool, cool.

A track record of success. We believe winners have always won. All candidates will be asked to submit a 'brag sheet' as part of our interview process. This is a listing of every accomplishment you've ever had. If you won the spelling bee in the 2nd grade we want to know about it, etc.

Trying something hard and failing is apparently not something Health IQ can get behind. Better hope you’ve had a lot of good things happen to you since the second grade! Or have played it pretty safe since then; they don’t want the stench of your failures interrupting treadmill standup.

We don't have sugar, candy bars, soda (diet or otherwise) in our office. If you bring some it will get thrown away.

My personal dietary choices are now my employer’s business. Awesome. I would like to work there, just so I could throw out other people’s property that has even one gram of sugars in it. Fuck your milk.

Although, hey, at least they’re honest about being creepy counterproductive weirdos. It’ll make the eventual lawsuit easier.

I think we should ALL apply and mess with these guys. I'm gonna come to the interview with a beer and a twizzler straw. Does anyone know of a compound that will look like crystal meth when burned in a meth pipe during an interview? (but not be meth lol)

My brag sheet... the true stuff I could say nobody would even believe.
