Typical flow:
HM phone screen On-site interviews a week later (7x1hr sessions) Received offer a few days later
In my experience, the engineering and management teams (in the product development field) are very skilled. They're not all about technical stuff; they see you as someone who is more than just a walking textbook or a programmed computer.
Tips to crack the interview:
- Know topics mentioned in your resume inside out (kinda duh!)
- Listen carefully to their description of the job and their expectations of you. Then, ask questions or have conversations about them (this proves your interest in the role is genuine).
- Attitude is everything. You could be the most knowledgeable person on the planet, but if you don't have the right attitude towards work and your potential peers, they wouldn't want you on their team.
Good luck!

No pay, no respect, no chill days

Pros: You'll end up developing a habit of self-learning and documenting work, with the assumption that you won't be around to deal with its problems next time.
Cons: Purely executional work, driven only by deadlines, regardless of how experienced the teams are or how many challenges the products pose. No respect for fellow employees, and an overall air of anger from all higher management, translating to a revolving door of engineers.
No team members are between tenure ages of 4-10 years. You either leave by year 4 when RSU vests, or become part of the culture and stay another 10.
