Andrei, My original statement was meant very generically, and not at all as an ad hominem attack on you or your organization. If it came across as such, my sincere apologies.
I am all for hiring people who are passionate about their work and challenging them early and often. To me, companies who under-utilize their staff's potential are just as guilty of not being human-centric as those that burn out their people with impossible demands. In fact, I currently find myself in exactly the former situation, and am actively looking for a workplace where my skills and talent can be put to better use. Dave's response makes the point I wanted to make in a more nuanced way: there is a difference between the "cold water" and "hit the ground running" approach. "Cold water" is what my original criticism was directed at; "hit the ground running" is absolutely to be expected in the fast-evolving field we work in, and can be a great stimulus for professional development and personal growth.
