Especially if you fancy creativity and accountable freedom at work.
If you like joining isolated tribes with big EGOs but no balls to make collaborative and collective decisions effectively, you do enjoy a lot of bureaucracy just to prove the point you hearing 'NO' way or 'MY' way, often, and you accept the fact that your first mistake is your last one, then carry on. Prove your compatibility with their sophisticated values, even before you understand if your essential competences can become anyhow a fit for the needs to fulfill any goals.
People should be hired on top of hard competences and fired if they lack soft competences to fit the already performing team, and over a period of time, not instantly. Not the total opposite.
And if a company interviewers allow you and even encourage you to assume too much instead of asking questions and verify facts, then it's another strong warning that they do assume a lot on their daily, regular basis.
And as we all know... assumption is the mother of all ... [things you don't want to experience (at the end)].
Unfortunately, even big tech and sometimes especially big tech companies do approach candidates this way.
No wonder they need to acquire start-ups to catch up with the innovative edge. They brainwash their own internal talent to stay focused on values instead of providing the clarity about the goals, setting up the teams to collaborate and to effectively create a collective that can grow in all competences (both hard and soft) and get things done!
