Hello, You might want to review this posting.
Over the past six weeks, I've been going through the interview/hiring process with NET-A-PORTER. An offer was extended, pending final signature, last week to lead their US development team, but they pulled out after attempting to renegotiate an agreed upon salary. NET-A-PORTER informed the recruiting company that they were pulling out of the US market for at least a year on Tuesday (6 Dec.) I emailed both companies yesterday (7 Dec.) regarding my understanding of the situation, and I just got off the phone with the recruiting company and they informed me that the same thing happened to the two other Perl programmers assembled for the team. NET-A-PORTER has not yet responded; and, based on the conversation I just had, I don't expect it. If anyone has any questions, the recruiting company offered to discuss any direct inquiries regarding this situation. I will be writing up a more detailed outline about my experience with NET-A-PORTER and post that to the london.pm list, but figured this should be looked into before anyone else gets suckered. -r On Wednesday, December 07, 2011 at 01:37:55 PM, Perl Jobs wrote: > Online URL for this job: http://jobs.perl.org/job/14442 > > To subscribe to this list, send mail to jobs-subscr...@perl.org. > To unsubscribe, send mail to jobs-unsubscr...@perl.org. > > Posted: December 7, 2011 > > Job title: Junior Perl Developer > > Company name: NET-A-PORTER > > Internal ID: Junior Perl Developer - New Jersey > > Location: New York, NY, USA > > Pay rate: Competitve with excellent benefits > > Terms of employment: Salaried employee > > Hours: Full time > > Onsite: yes > > Description: > Junior Perl Developer > > What we have to offer is unique; you will be joining a truly Agile team > embedded within the business; this is an opportunity to establish a close > relationship with our product owners and users and make a real difference > in a fast-paced pure-play retail environment. > > Our leading edge infrastructure allows us to deliver value to our business > every iteration, which means you will immediately be able to contribute and > make an positive impact to our business. > > Our success means we are looking for the best software developers to take > our platform and product forward.
