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.

Software Engineer
They called me on the phone and asked me several questions. Then, they sent me a programming test. Upon completion, they did not inform me if I had advanced to the next phase. I did not like the lack of response about my status.

The interview went well. The interviewer was nice, patient, and helpful. However, I wasn't fully prepared, so I didn't answer all the questions properly. Consequently, I didn't get an offer, but it was a good first interview experience.
