Interesting work, high burnout, mediocre compensation/perks
Interesting work, high burnout, mediocre compensation/perks
- Exposure to some really cool technologies.
- Very few useless meetings.
- Open-concept office space (some dislike this).
- Very lean company--there is little dead weight. You feel like everyone is doing their job. (also a con).
- Work from home policy.
Very lean company. Everyone seems to be working hard all the time; burnout seems to hit within 5 years of starting.
Compensation is not competitive with other tech companies of this size, especially considering there are no perks.
On-call shifts for certain teams.
Give better perks and pay for employees. Frugality is a great corporate principle, but not when applied to employees.

The process was very smooth. The coding test was on HackerRank with a medium and a hard problem. The HR person was very nice and explained the entire process nicely. The coding problems are on the harder side, so prep accordingly.

Received a recruiter email with instructions on how to prepare for the online assessment. The OA was the standard for Amazon, featuring two coding questions, followed by a work simulation (system design focused), and then behavioral questions.

Had two questions. One was on DP, and the other was on string manipulation. Solved both of them in C++ and was able to clearly write the correct answers. Good experience.
