Software Engineer (Swe II) Interview Experience - Virginia
March 1, 2022
Positive ExperienceNo Offer
Process
One video screen for one hour.
Four rounds of one-hour interviews with a one-hour break.
Got a response within two business days that I did not receive an offer. However, both recruiters said I did extremely well, and it was just not a team fit, so I can interview for more teams later.

Autonomy Lost, Personal Attacks
Software Development Engineer • Former Employee
Seattle, Washington, United States
November 15, 2018
Pros: Interesting technology and products. I was given a lot of autonomy and influence. Once you get a hang of their internal tools, some of them are really nice.
Cons: It wasn't uncommon for design review comments to turn into personal attacks, and there were a number of coworkers who lacked the interpersonal skills to treat their fellow employees as human beings. A surprising number of people looked to make themselves look better at the expense of the team/product, and there was a disturbing lack of control by management.
The company is also frugal to a fault way too often.
