Cybereason of Boston: Digital natives, only!

More proof that Dan Lyons was right when he wrote, "When It Comes to Age Bias, Tech Companies Don’t Even Bother to Lie..." This job appeared on 12/02/16:



Putting aside the massive amount of stupid in this description (no, I don't fall asleep looking at design blogs, what kind of loser does that?), they outright state they expect the applicant to have "grown up on digital," or, as the term goes, be a "digital native." A digital native is synonymous with "millennial." Yeah, stating you'll only consider people from a certain age bracket is illegal. But, so what? 

EDIT: Looks like they realized their faux pas and edited the requirements. Don't worry, folks, their "Careers" page continues to convey the "we only hire from the young/pretty crowd" message quite nicely (and, as of June 2017 they *still* haven't found a designer)...



EDIT, 07/11/17: Today (July 11), a brand new direct-apply version appeared on StinkedIn...
