That sucks in so many ways. Even with a lot of due diligence you can get duped.

For example, we’re very picky on long term highers and typically start with a probation period where additional access is given over time. We like to do that for about six months on a slow evaluation- especially for people who should be leads. It’s a pain, but we’ve also built an awesome team from people around the world that way. Been there almost a decade as a code monkey - great people.

Not sure how i slipped in there, but the lesson is - no system is perfect ;-)
