anyone who has ever interviewed with Amjad knows hes two-faced. He had a posting for a marketing position open forever and would have you work about 3 weeks for the interview. He would ask for marketing campaigns and how to implementing them. thinking that he was testing your skill set but actually just stealing ideas. I use to use Repl.it but forget. I really hope this company burns. He lacks the understanding of what the face of a company means and every time i see or think about this company, i just remember how i was treated by the guy who supposedly wants to "change" the world and "help" people. he makes me sick
So this is a serious claim, did this happen to you? Or is this a situation you have intimate knowledge of? Of is this hearsay?
> i just remember how i was treated
Pretty sure it's a personal recount.
I second this. A lot of people who interfaced with him at Facebook has a lot to say about him being two faced and dishonest.
Dude is the epitome of virtue signalling to any side that will give him money.
YC has gone to shits that they couldn’t identify it.
Just want to call this post out, as it sounds like someone who didn't pass an interview and is now very biased.
I know the Repl.it team, including Amjad, and they're all some very upstanding people. I'm biased myself.
Often there are localized judgement errors, and treating people via threat of the law is both a mistake (IMO) and also an unfortunately reality for running a company. It's hard to make a determination of what we'd all do if not in the shoes where a former employee is potentially stealing your code/IP.
I personally know Amjad from Mutual circles around, i disagree with u.
