WTF. Sorry, but that video did not motivate me to join you company.

Maybe, you will find somebody with similiar sense of humor you guys have, but what the heck?

I'm sure that was part of the point. A recruiting video this unusual both recruits and filters.

ok, i see, all the negative responses are getting negged.

If you don't want real feedback (even negative) than don't post something like that public.

on the contrary. while we hope that some people enjoy watching it as much as we enjoyed making it, bad press is better than no press at all.

My consulting firm organizes protests outside the offices of companies looking to generate controversy. It's a very lucrative market.

"deuchebags looking for a next victim er.. employee to abuse."

Thats not exactly constructive feedback you've got there. Next time at least spell it right -> "douchebag"

I agree with you, it wasn't constructive feedback, so I removed that sentence. Still, either that video is of bad taste, or I am lacking some sense of humor. I can't say it is motivating at all.

I thought it was funny, but maybe thats something they are just filtering for. After all, its more enjoyable to work with people you have fun with (and share a sense of humor with).
