Process
I applied through a recruiter. The process took three months.
I met with the hiring manager, which was nice because it immediately gave me a good idea of whether or not I would want to work with them. Then I did the take-home interview, which was close to what I would be really doing on the job. I like that over LeetCode-style interviews, which are more of the luck of the draw. Then I did some behavioral interviews and an interview with a developer going over the take-home interview.

- 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.
