I used a throwaway account because I was hired through HN. The work environment was terrible, extremely stressful, and led me to become very depressed. It wasn't until I shared my experiences with a friend, who was shocked and convinced me to quit, that I realized how bad it had been.

This hasn't completely discouraged me from being hired through HN in similar situations, but I will definitely do more research on the company beforehand.
