Great Tools, Toxic Culture
Great Tools, Toxic Culture
Direct control over code, builds, and deployments. Access to AWS tools for team use. Great facility, on-campus dining.
Non-industry-standard tools. Proprietary solutions for nearly everything. Experienced developers can't leverage their years of experience in tools, libraries, etc. Pressure to work extended hours. Way, way, too many meetings. Poor personnel review practices. Hostile developer culture.
Train your dev managers in HR practices before you let them manage teams. Eliminate managers who engage in stack ranking. Work on your corporate culture. Encourage devs NOT to work more than 8 hours/day.

It was bad and not worth taking the test. It was very difficult; I could not solve any question in the interview. I wish it was easy so that I could clear it, but it was not meant to be.
