It's a competitive company with good pay
It's a competitive company with good pay
- You'll learn a lot.
- Competitive pay compared to most companies.
- Customer-obsessed company, and you'll be solving interesting problems for customers.
- Pay not as good as other top companies (Amazon bakes in a 15% growth assumption when deciding how much RSU to give you, which makes compensation look better than it actually is). Compensation is too stock-heavy with no performance bonus.
- 5-day RTO.
- Often a sense of urgency with projects. WLB varies a lot but is below average overall.
- Lots of re-orgs, which create churn.
- Not many benefits, though they're still decent overall.
I'd recommend at least reverting back to a 3-day RTO and improving the comp planning. A 15% growth assumption is absurd.

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
