One year later (July 2016), they advertised the identical job with the exception being the title which was changed to "Director of Visual Design, Presentations & Business Graphics." Since it was the exact same job (and I was still fully qualified), I foolishly applied. Again, heard nothing. When I saw this dumb job was still unfilled a few months later, I sent them a nice little email asking what kind of game they are playing. I addressed it to jobs@americanwell.com which is given on their website and which, I'm guessing, is probably not administered by a human being as I received no reply (and not even an anonymous snoop on my StinkedIn profile).
I was recently chatting online with another disillusioned Boston job seeker, and he shared with me a comment he made on some local tech site about the dismal Boston job market:
I would argue that it's more than a "trickle" of problem-child companies like American Well (note how many "fake job alerts" I share here). The design job I mentioned above has finally been removed from their website. As for the remaining "jobs" shown there, anyone who hands over their personal data aka resume to this fraudulent company is truly a fool.
