Fake job alert: MFS Investment Management

MFS Investment Management has been advertising the same Senior Designer job since at least December 2016. I applied for it and was promptly ignored. Here is one of the ads for this job when it was listed under MAR02184 at that time (they changed ATSs and my application from that time is now gone).

They advertised it again in March 2017, playing the standard game of "just change the job number and perhaps nobody will notice." Too bad I noticed that MAR02184 had turned into MFS-000160004. This is a good time for me to demonstrate how useless their Workday ATS is in this exercise. Here's what I get when I click on the "My Applications" page:




Note the redundant usage of the word "Welcome." Clearly, the first line is meant to include the applicant's first name. Also, that "Status: Under consideration" bit is complete nonsense; anyone who believes that they could possibly be "under consideration" for a job for which they applied three months ago is a nincompoop. 

Finally, when I click on the job number in hopes of obtaining the job description, here's what I get:



????


I'm forced to conclude these people either don't know how to set up their own ATS, or they're just lazy (probably a bit of both).

Fast forward to today, Here we are in June 2017, with the exact same job "newly" posted with a different number, MFS-170079 (full screenshot provided for future reference, i.e., when they advertise the same job again in three months).



Simply further evidence that Boston continues to suck big time.
