Definitely not a very senior position. They don't even know what a good bluff looks like. Either they don't know the products they are looking for or didn't proofread at all. Not how you approach a "senior" position.

It's a mid-level generalist role, so has to be for a very small company.

The top 10 only get so big. It's not a big range.

@mlnews keeps posting these things that look more like jokes than anything else. I thought that was the point?

Depends on how you measure? Maybe they are Top 10 in poor customer service?

14.6 billion in revenue and 120,000 employees according to the Wikipedia page for them.
So a decent size company. I would guess working for one or more of the company's customers rather than on anything internal.
You would think that at that size they might be able to afford a better template for recruitment posts though...
