        Indeed. And even if you did smash the interview there is the problem of getting up from the bean bag whilst keeping your modesty and decorum intact.

            Especially when you are holding the Client Co IPad, in the other hand, they insisted you did the technical test on, to ensure you could "code renegade and be extra agile".

                  No, but you'd feel a lot better for it and it's all about feeling good these days. Used to be a lot easier to feel good, before they banned cattle prods in the office.

                    I don't get it. These engineers have been canned from abc and fb, so you should want to work with them?
