几周前刚和教主见面,本来想蹭quora的饭,看了一眼,完全没食欲,直接出来吃了。
我认为他的主要目的恐怕在于想减肥。
楼教主几个小时前在Quora上介绍了自己选择Quora的考虑,转帖到后面。
Quora本身就是一个非常非常吸引人的互联网公司,大牛云集,前景广阔,技术氛围和Google齐名,所以能够吸引ACRush并不为奇。准备去美帝求职的大神们不妨试试这家公司,严重推荐。
此外介绍一下Quora的CTO(

How Quora Founder and Ex-Facebook CTO Adam D’Angelo Became a TopCoder楼教主在Quora上的回答,
https://www. quora.com/Why-did-ACRus h-Tiancheng-Lou-join-Quoras-engineering-teamEarly November 2015, I decided to leave the Alphabet self-driving car team and look for new opportunities. At the mean time, I interviewed with various tech companies in Silicon Valley. Finally, followings are some key things that made Quora super attractive to me:I've been at Quora for a few weeks. There are a lot of great things about Quora, and I'm enjoying my work every day. Soon, I will share more about my experience of working at Quora.
- High impact: Quora is growing rapidly which provides huge opportunities for long-term impact across the whole product. Also, I have opportunities to work with other people, projects, and teams, which extends my impact over the entire company.
- Spend lots of time using Quora: I will not join one company if I never use its product. Since a few years ago, I started to notice that Quora results are likely the most valuable ones in my Google search. On the product itself, I'm also reading tons of stories every day.
- Very technical leadership: I met Adam (CEO) before the start of my application. Our meeting started with fun stories in TopCoder competitions and ended with machine learning models. This never happens in any discussion with senior people elsewhere.
- Effective interview process: interviewing is a two-way process. During the interview, the interviewee is evaluating the company by the interviewing question quality. I'd suggest this is one of the most efficient ways to understand your potential coworkers. I felt that questions I got from Quora were interesting and challenging and gave me confidence that their selection process will choose good people. I was also impressed by my interviewers.
- Meritocracy: people at Quora shows great respect to data/logic. Most ideas and directions should be researched and analyzed carefully. The data driven and rational approach makes the company more meritocratic. So, nothing is stopping you from having the impact if you're smart and hard-working.
- Challenges: One aspect of competitive programming that I've liked is the challenging nature of problems, so I wanted to work at a place where I get to solve challenging problems every day. At Quora, there're many interesting and challenging problems that I could help solve. The most amazing part is, not only do I get to solve hard technical problems (across machine learning, scalability, development etc.), I also get to solve difficult problems in non-technical areas like organization, recruiting and culture as well, which is something I did not get to do at all while at Google.
- Employee-friendly equity program: Quora's stock options are exercisable for 10 years past the grant date and vested stocks don't expire even if you leave the company. Compare to other startups, this shows leadership's confidence in company success.
