So they're cheap, offer low pay AND long hours? Wow, where do I sign up?!

Honestly, unless they do some incredible work and/or have great prospects and generous options, I can't see why anyone would want to work there. And based on their product, none of those seem to be true.

Apart from this, the article itself doesn't say much - the problem being that no matter how honest you want to be, listing a few things like in his example won't be enough to give a candidate anything more than a vague idea of what the place will be like and offering below-market rates is always wrong.

This company seems to have a much better idea: http://thisisremarkable.blogspot.com/2008/05/zappos-remarkab...

In fact long hours, low pay and "your opinion can't be better than others'" say a lot. Well, at least one thing clearly: run like hell!
