A list of companies one would not want to touch with a 10ft pole while wearing a Hazmat suit. PRs for new additions are welcome. The list itself is in no particular order.
- In order to add a company, please Send a PR with company name and public proof of notoriety.
- Personal grudges, word-of-mouth, arbitrary defamation, and second-hand knowledge would not be considered as enough proof.
- Proof to be shared in form of screenshots, tweets, archive.is links - anything that is/was a public comment from the company management and is viewable publicly (without logging-in/paywalls).
- Please do not send screenshots of private conversations and email chains of people simply disgruntled by work or interview processes.
Every candidate who asks in the first 5 questions they have - "How many working days / week?", should just reject them at that stage I think.

When you're 21-25, if you're stressed about working 6 days a week, I don't think I want to work with that.

What a great thread! Top 3 takeaways:

1. Make the offer signing process very serious. Contracts, NDA, penalty for not joining. via @anuj
2. Share on social media someone is joining via @PrashantPansare
3. Give a laptop the moment they accept via @prabirkaushik https://t.co/r8PjE6JKOy
I think we should create a public / non editable google sheet with names of people who backout after accepting. Obviously need proof before putting anyones name on the list. A Glassdoor for people interviewing.

(Name and shame a candidate publicly if he decides against joining the company - because ethics???)
1. Shorter notice periods - 2 weeks. Give and get

2. Founders secret blacklist of flakes
3. Name and shame socially
Pick any/all that you find acceptable.

While I am all for work-life balance, when you are just starting off in your career, you should just put in the hours.
