At my first real job, I 'overheard' portions of the interview for my replacement. The manager-folk motioned to the new software on his desk and said "We get the tools you need." This was of course, the same development tool I had been trying to get for over 2 years. They bought it a few days after I gave my two weeks.
I was fuming at the time and wanted to follow the candidate out to the parking lot and let him know the real deal. Obviously that wouldn't have been a good idea. A good friend and co-worker pulled me aside and told me this. Any job situation is 'buyer beware'. It's up to the interviewee and interviewer to sort out facts from fiction. They are both going to be putting their best foot forward on an interview while trying to hide the wrinkles. I think her words still ring true today. As far as commenting on companies that do job postings, I'd keep my mouth shut, especially publicly. I wouldn't offer any opinion good nor bad. If a friend or associate asks you personally about the company, knock yourself out. Be as candid as your comfortable being. I love that interview question, BTW.
