A huge local tech company, West Corporation, is just stuck in the dark ages. They don't use head hunters - who wants to pay the 25% fee of the total compensation package to someone because you found me a body, and before you respond.. yes I know the benefits of head hunters... start another topic if you'd like
- HR controls who is and isn't hired. Short of a VP getting involved.. if the job description says degree required.. it's required, no matter what!Never heard of them. How big are they? HR might control things there, but that's rare and how you kow a company isn't a good one to work for.

Well obviously not that big as they aren't part of the Fortune 100. They are 787 in the Fortune 1000.

Very "high tech" company...

They have never had a great web presence. I remember about 20 years ago they had their page defaced within 2 days of going live on. It was pretty funny.

That's his point. No high tech company should be using Flash on their homepage anymore.

@Dashrender Plenty do.

Of course not, what decade is it? I'm on a web site, not an arbitrary app site.

Or, you know, ever. It was considered unprofessional and embarrassing in 2002!! I remember it being discussed in web companies in 2000 and avoided because only crappy companies with no clue did that.

No degree here, seem to be doing ok.

Who the hell still makes new sites with flash? There's almost nothing that can be done in flash now that can't be done in JS+HTML5 with less effort.
