Egregious compensation practices and benefits
Egregious compensation practices and benefits
- Challenging work with a good learning curve.
- Smart peers
-
There is no annual bonus. Promotions place you at the lowest band for that level.
-
There are no refreshers. Stocks are granted for years without the initial stock grant, with 15% assumed growth per year.
-
Overall, if you're an SDE, most other companies pay far superior.
-
Bare-bones benefits with a 2% match on 401k.
- Focus on designing a fair compensation plan that rewards high-performing employees rather than lining executives' pockets.
- Increase the minimum hourly wage for warehouse workers.
- Offer better benefits, such as a higher 401k match, etc.

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
