Jan 31, 2014 at 15:06 comment added user103181 @WayneM Exactly. I've experienced the same thing. I asked about creative opportunities to do math research in a job, and the company basically lied about it to get me to accept and then stuck me with projects I had thought that I weeded out by asking during interviews. The advice "look for a new job" falls pretty flat -- of course I will do that, it just doesn't represent any kind of "solution" to this issue.

May 18, 2011 at 12:08 comment added Wayne Molina Good advice, but asking questions doesn't always work. I've interviewed at some companies that lied about that stuff - e.g. saying they use version control but it's not set up right at all and nobody really knows how to use it anyway, saying they do testing but there are no unit tests, saying they use the latest and greatest technology but aren't actually using any of the features in the newest version (or any version past the first).
