I have some sense reading this that you put MIRI in the same bucket as a MANGA companies (my new name for ‘FAANG’), in terms of what to expect operationally.
That’s a pretty amusing comparison because MANGA companies are also notorious for (despite all the supposed professionalism, tooling, high volume, and fulltime specialists involved in one of the most important & limiting-step things they do) hiring processes which dick around people, tell them wrong outdated things about immigrations or what they would be working on, require many rounds, and wind up wasting their time and just leave them hanging for months or ghosting them in the end. Lots of bellyaching on HN & elsewhere about this. (Should this be taken as a defense or a criticism of MIRI’s ops...?)
