I <3 you too Bungie

I'm a little puzzled. I was trying to find the Meet the Team page and noticed that About Us and Career Opportunities go to the same page. Is this intentional? If so, what' the point?

It was probably just to save time and space on the site or just because they forgot to add a section for Career Opportunities.

Well why would they not be on the same page? People applying for a job at Bungie would benefit more from that information than we would.

What a hipster.

Most people looking for a job like to know a little history about the company they're signing up to work for.

Edit: Damn, OMARRCHR beat me to it :-)

Still had a question on this. I just don't understand why those separate links go to the same page when it doesn't have Bungie staff info. Not saying the info isn't good to put together. Just saying that what's missing seems to be the problem.

Hi I'm RT and I like to argue!

Not sure why you would think that it would?

For an "About Us" on a company's web site, the "us" usually refers to the company, not its individual employees. Or, at most, a few of the company's big players (owners, board, executives, etc.).

The old "Meet the Team" page isn't linked but it still exists, I think.

Mourne not your comrades who must dwell / too strong to strive -
Within each steel-bound coffin of a cell, / Buried alive;
But rather mourne the apathetic throng / The cowed, and the meek -
Who see the world’s great anguish and its wrong / And dare not speak.

I think what happened is that the Career Opportunities link was added (or moved to the top) afterwards, to make sure people knew there were openings. The "Meet the Team" page would probably be best as a link under the About Us heading, not as the actual About Us link. Anyways, the page does still exist even though I think it's out of date (still).

That's basically my complaint. I just didn't realize the meet the team page was no longer publicly linked to the site. I found it via search engine and noticed that it was way out of date. Sad to see it go if they're letting it die by neglect.

I kind of think that's what's happening. I'm just guessing, but maybe with all the new (and seemingly constant) hires -- combined with the fact that it has always been out of date anyways -- they've decided to de-emphasize it until they can get around to making it current. And/Or until they make it easier to update; my guess is that the code is so old that they need to hardcode every change.

Looking for clan that isn't too serious? Then join the ODST 501st Airborne Battalion. Go to http://www.501st.forumclan.com for more info.

I believe they lead to the same page because some people could be interested in working for Bungie, but want to know a bit about them first. Plus, it's only a couple of paragraphs, the rest is found in Bungie's History.
