Obviously wroterolf wroteI can indicate a couple of companies where developers would NOT want to work - unless they enjoy being exploited or working in terrible conditions.
Incidentally, I could also compile a list of clients freelancers would want to stay away from!
That would be pretty helpful actually!
I tried working at a company called Eastline Marketing. We did not reach an agreement during the interview, but they told me to go there on some day, just for a test.
I went there. Then they asked me to come the next day. I asked when they will agree on whether to employ me or not, they said tomorrow we'll have a meeting. About two weeks went by like this, if my memory serves me well, me going there every day, and them telling me they'll have a meeting and decide because they couldn't do it today because *fill in some excuse*. They gave me real tasks during this time. When I did not show up at work, they actually called and asked why I wasn't coming. Anyway when they realized that I wans't going to go work for free anymore they made me a full time offer for $700 / month. Mind you I have years of experience and work as a freelancer, and was looking for something part time.
I also do not recommend a company called Limetag. I actually signed an NDA there (of which I did not receive a copy), although my employment was very short, I could not stand the work conditions there so I left. So anyway I don't feel comfortable with going into details because of the said NDA, and I'm not sure it's necessary - but if it is just PM me.
