>Be upfront and as precise as possible with what a position entails. "Working alongside smart and passionate people" is lazy hiring.
I understand that this person was coming straight out of school, but the onus is on the applicant to figure out more about the job during the interview process.
Interviewers, if they're coached properly by the organization, will lie. "Sell the candidate on the company" is a thing. Human beings aren't conditioned to have their skepticism alarms ramped up to 100% constantly in every interaction. At some point a certain level of trust to be honest with one another is required for society to have any cohesion. In my view businesses, especially software/tech companies, are quite poor at this on a good day and frequently work in ways that undermine it.
Nifi is a good (not great) tool, mostly because of all of the functionality you get out of the box. It comes with almost any kind of connector you would need for moving data. There's a pretty steep learning curve, but once you push through that, creating a new data flow from scratch is quick and easy. It sucks that other people in this thread have had bad experiences with Nifi, and I can't say that I haven't. However, it has generally been a positive addition to my team's stack.
