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.

Ability to handle pressure and long hours. 10 Jun 2018

Unapologetic about exploiting their employees. Convince employees it's okay because "Barack Obama works like this".

Last I checked, it was 3:07 am. I’ve been working since 11 am yesterday, and I’ll likely be in the office until 6 am when I’ll walk home, fall asleep for a few hours, and come back to do it all over again.

In a company survey, we learned that SocialCops employees pull an average of 5 all-nighters per month and work about 60 hours per week. Our office is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and someone is usually working in the office at any given time, be it a Sunday afternoon or Friday evening.

Deepu often comes to work at 4 pm and leaves around 5 am. Krishna, another engineer, loves working in long continuous stretches — several days straight spent in the office alternating coding and Xbox — followed by a full day at home

Apparently wants to create a cartel to vilify and blacklist candidates who dare to join another company instead of theirs.

There is a need of universal database of those candidates who take an offer letter from a company to go shopping around. I am pretty sure all the companies would feed information of such candidates to this database which would help just filter out any one part of this list - https://twitter.com/abhishek_tri/status/1293881125350313986
