Hi,
I interviewed with them. I think a few people - Doug and Kurt -
heard the story. Perhaps they have mellowed out a bit, but they wanted
me to sign a document that stated that I had no intellectual property,
and I assigned all of my IP to them. I got the interview partially because
of free software programming I had done, and when I asked about this,
they got their lawyers over to "help clarify", and surely enough, I
couldn't sign the contract because I would be making a false statement,
as I couldn't retract the code I've released.
Anyone going down there should be aware of this and read the contracts
carefully and evaluate your priorities. If you keep your mouth shut,
there probably would be no problems, but a lot of people don't like
being "owned".
It seemed like a really nice outfit with nice people. Techies are well
reguarded and respected in the company, and you'd have to see the
building - very artistic - and the other programmers and people on
tech support seemed very cool. This could be a great job for someone
more interested in the business side of software than the hobby side.
If you're thinking about it, pay a visit to their website. The industry
is interesting. Final note - if you set up a website that accepts
payments through ccbill, one of their tech guys (seperate bay
than the programmers, though I don't know which this post is for)
ssh's in and sets up the perl scripting for the webmaster, including
setting up the redirect, forms, and such. You may find yourself
working on websites you normally wouldn't be looking at.
2 cents and that.
Cheers,
-scott
