In Reply To: I am interviewing for a positions coding at several tech companies. I am also a recreational drug user-- it doesn't effect my work in the slightest, and I would NEVER use drugs during work. However, I don't see any reason why I should stop-- I enjoy it. My question is this: do tech companies test? if so, is there any way I can find out before actually being hired? Moreover, do companies look at marijuana usage the same way that they look at use of other drugs? Thanks alot.
Message: Every company I've ever worked for has had manditory drug testing. Assume the company will test you. If you fail the test they probably won't offer you a job. One more thing, stay off the road you're an accident waiting to happen.
