A fluke, I made it into Hell
A fluke, I made it into Hell
Never bored.
Learn a lot.
Quality engineers, especially backend.
A million orgs mean a million cultures.
Some orgs are stagnant, and you will work on 10-year-old code.
Some orgs are so product-driven that the engineers are never heard. The push for product erodes quality. The push for product comes from stack ranking and a constant need to deliver. This can create a lot of conflict.
I'd honestly appreciate some blatant nepotism. The promo process is based on how much your manager likes you. Meritocracy is a lie. Also, Jeff, you need some principals that understand Javascript.

It was good, but they didn't respond to me for a long time after 14 days. I asked them why, but they didn't respond back.
Software Engineer
Initial phone call with a recruiter, followed by a 90-minute coding assignment. This consisted of standard LeetCode-style algorithm and data structures problems, loosely related to the specific role and easy to prepare for by using normal resources.

Only one round for the intern position. The first part of the interview was technical questions. I got one "out of the box" question and one LeetCode question created by the interviewer, not on the list. The second part of the interview was behaviora
