Remember the company that threatened with their lawyer for leaving a bad interview review (more details below)

Well, now they started accusing everyone who talked negative about them that it was one person behind it – Me and those reviews are considered as “fake” because they think I'm the one “posting” them on purpose. This is the original Reddit post where I've talked about this threats. This is the one and only review I have re-posted not long ago (look the first one from the bottom; also make sure to have a translator): * https://www.joberty.rs/it-kompanija/879/factor-blue-doo/razgovor-za-posao Another fun story: The company edited their original response (the one that contained all of that pathetic insults) with a new and more polite one. Also, the original response had an enormous likes/dislikes ratio before they realized their bot mission was a complete failure… Luckily, there is thing called Web Archive which still contains the old cached page before the edit went through (make sure to prepare a translator): https://web.archive.org/web/20230510150727/https://www.joberty.rs/it-kompanija/879/factor-blue-doo/razgovor-za-posao The original…

The original response:

Dear Sir or Madam, Thank you for not forgetting us even a year later. Everything you stated is incorrect and taken out of context in order to vent your frustration at the fact that you will not be accepted, which was obvious during the interview due to your answers, on us. Of course, as a company, we maintain a high standard when hiring, especially when the position is directly related to the smooth operation of applications. We want to clear up some of the above falsehoods. When asked what has been the biggest challenge in your DevOps career so far, you stated that you had nothing special to say, so there was no need to ask further questions in that direction. The scope of the CV was mentioned in the context of the fact that as someone who rates himself between junior and mid-level and has only 1.5 years of experience, you wrote full 2 A4 pages where you presented yourself as an expert in many areas. It was studied in detail in preparation for the interview, and during the interview it was used as a reference, which is completely normal. None of the questions asked were related to Magento. The questions were closely related to the job description you would do as a DevOps. Maybe you didn't see the point in them because according to our records, out of the 21 questions asked, you gave the correct answer to only 3. You were asked sub-questions in an attempt to get at least some correct answer from you, even if only partially. Statements that you have not heard of CDN; don't know how to prevent cron from running twice; that the .ssh directory is always in the root and you don't know what its permissions are, but you can look on your computer and tell us; that you would “recognize” the shell script if someone showed it to you; that you don't know anything about WSL because “you run away from Windows like the devil from the cross”; that Nginx “is probably on port 80”; that the code is transferred to the server with SCP, you did not know how to describe in the shortest terms how you would set up a WP project on an empty server, etc., are not an indication that you have the knowledge and experience required for the position you applied for. We invite representatives of other companies, as well as others who deal with DevOps, would you work with the same one who does not know the above questions and entrust them with webshops that bring tens of thousands of euros to your clients on a daily basis? When it comes to education and respect, statements that “no one is born learned” when you don't know the answer to a question and “swap is swap”, while laughing in the face of the examiners with the comment “this is ridiculous”, are not the embodiment of them. Especially since you talked to people who have over a decade of life and professional experience longer than you. Also, if you're going to cheat and while talking around you're looking for answers to the questions you've been asked, at least try not to wear glasses in which you can see the reflection of the screen and everything on it. Our lawyer has been with the case for a long time, that is, what you call “judicial threats”. A friendly advice is to work on arrogance and predominance, because professional knowledge and experience are acquired, but this is something that can cost you your future career.


This is their new (edited) response (without insults and fake dislikes):

Thanks for remembering us and putting this review one year after the interview took place. It looks like both of us have other impressions of how the interview went. We’re always taking care of the process and how we work with candidates that want to work with us. It looks like you do have a lot of frustrations and we are wondering where that is coming from even to post this after one year. We want to ask you to stop spreading disinformation in an anonymized way over the internet (we saw Reddit posts) because your opinion is luckily not everyone's opinion.
