The Inappropriate Advert
All companies have them, they just don't show them to you. With a name like Ruckus, how can we NOT?
At Ruckus (if you've read any of our BLOG posts), we tend to have too much fun from time to time. This is one of those times.
Recently we were bitching to each other about the fact that (at the startups that will actually employ us) we can never seem to work for companies that advertise. Or when they do, the ads just suck.
Interestingly engineers are often waaaaaay more creative (and generally way funnier) than the marketing "team." They're just never given a chance to be odd in public. Not here.
And NOT having butt loads of money (like at Cisco) has never stopped any of us. So we created our own ad. Though it will never see the light of day, it amused us (in an irreverent, we work at a startup kinda way).
Just like we built our product because it's something that WE (ourselves) would want to have in our own homes, we created an ad that entertained us. This probably means we have some issues. Well, we do. Who doesn't.
So in the spirit of full (privately-held) disclosure, we thought we'd (hopefully) entertain you.
Please understand that this is merely a parody that we did for fun. Obviously (as far as you know) this is not a real ad. We "just did it." :)
