High Compensation. High Stress
High Compensation. High Stress
I nearly doubled my total comp from my previous role.
People are nice. Everyone commiserates together about how much work sucks.
I've nearly tripled my stress related to work from my previous role. I also work more because I have less time off, fewer holidays, and I have to be on call (i.e., within 15 minutes of my laptop at all times) even on weekends and holidays.
Tooling is awful. The company is unbelievably stingy about architecting. Decisions come from on-high without good explanation and are expected to go unchallenged.

It was easy and to the point. The interviewer was sweet and allowed me enough time to think about how to approach solving the problems. The coding question asked was for an inventory and managing it. It was an easy solve with the right data structure

First was an exam of problem-solving with 2 questions. Then 4 interviews over 2 days, or all in 1 day after the exam passed, but I didn't join them; I just did the exam.
