I really hope the best for Oxide and applaud their compensation model.

I applied to one of their roles which required me to write about 10 pages of text to answer all their questions... which I think is a big ask but I did it because "why not".

They took over 3 months to get back to me, but at least they got back to me (with an apology and a polite "no").

I never bothered applying because they explicitly said they didn't want candidates who didn't finish college.

Where did we say that? My general understanding of our hiring practices is that we do not have minimum education requirements.

They require a lot just to apply, and they didn't get back to you until three months later? That's unacceptable.

Three months is long. We are upfront that the process takes a while. Part of the reason is that while we ask a lot of people, we also then give a lot: reviewing everyone's materials takes a significant amount of time. But the goal is usually half of that, six weeks or so.
