Process
I applied through college or university. The process took two weeks.
The interview process was pleasant. The interviewer was a senior software engineering manager who asked mostly behavioral questions and past experiences. No LeetCode or technical questions were involved in the 45 minutes. However, the issue came after the interview. A recruiter reached out to me to congratulate me as one of their top candidates and asked me if the proposed salary aligns with my expectation. So naturally, I happily accepted; except, it wasn't an offer. The following Monday, I received a rejection email. This is honestly quite a baffling experience as I have turned down other job offers, just so I can get rejected. You can imagine how angry I was. At least three other candidates had the exact same experience as I did, and this is unacceptable. So for the recruiters, either make it clear in the email that it is not an official offer, or simply, don't send that first email. This really makes us think that it is irresponsible and untrustworthy.

- 1.0Heavy siloing and lack of collaboration between teams define the engineering orgSoftware Engineer • Former EmployeeNovember 18, 2025Pros: Pretty good benefits Remote environment is flexible Smart fellow ICs to learn fromCons: Teams in the tech org are heavy siloed, and there is an astonishing lack of synergy and organization between teams and projects. There is little thought given to inter-team dependencies in the planning phase which leads to delays and general confusion over who owns what. Projects and teams are constantly shifting, lack identity and have an overall air of purely top down planning with little input from the ICs trying to make progress the best they can. Overall all, it's hard to recommend.
