Process
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks.
The process was rather long and consisted of:
- A 30-45' recruiter call
- 2 phone interviews
- 4 on-site (virtual) interviews
The questions seemed to be related to the real job rather than being LeetCode-type problems.
Questions
Tons of questions regarding past projects. It will pay well to dive deep into one's previous work and learn to explain how things work.

Software Engineer • Current Employee

Pros: The company is growing and customers love the product.
Cons: Don't expect to be promoted unless you're in the detection org.
Really mediocre engineering leadership.
AI slop is everywhere.
Everything is tactical instead of strategic, and engineers can't really own outcomes if anything smells like a long-term technical investment.
