Toxic culture, poor WLB, but good for the experience
Toxic culture, poor WLB, but good for the experience
- Working with smart people
- Pay is decent
- Hybrid (3 times a week in the office).
- Toxic culture (coworkers/managers).
- Horrible on-call workload.
- Easy burnout and stress. It will affect your mental health.
- Overworked but barely any salary increase each year and lack of benefits.
- Senior engineers and above all seem miserable. They make your job hard for no reason, unwilling to help out and ignoring questions and messages because they are “busy.” But they always have so much to say about what someone less experienced does and loves to add more work to everyone’s plate, yet the work never falls on them. But somehow this is normalized and encouraged of seniors? Very toxic.

The process was fairly typical for a software engineer role. I spoke with the recruiter, completed an online test, and then progressed to the phone screen. The phone screen was rigorous, and I thought I did well enough, but that was the end for me.

Two Online Assessments (Algorithm + Task Assessment) and two Virtual On-Site interviews with one to two people in each call. The people were interested to be there and not like other companies where they don't seem to care about you.

The coding questions they ask can only be answered well if you're truly a seasoned, experienced software engineer, as opposed to a LeetCode ninja. This is great, as I think people should prepare to be a good software developer, not memorize LeetCode
