Let down by poor quality mid-level managers
Let down by poor quality mid-level managers
- Work with some really talented people on interesting problems.
- A well-meaning company culture.
- Thinking about the complete user experience.
- Poor middle management.
- Poor work-life balance.
- An archaic "not invented here" mentality.
- Managers tend to dictate engineering approaches.
Drain the swamp! Overhaul your review and compensation process. Make it more transparent and consistent across the company.
Implement shorter, 6-month performance cycles and 360-degree review processes.
Create development tracks for progression as an individual contributor.
Weed out the terrible managers who create employee churn.

Team-specific interview process. This team focused on OOP principles. The phone screen involved OOP with a bit of system design. The onsite included another OOP section and a peculiar tree/node question where the task was to serialize and deserializ

Honestly, pretty damn easy, lol. I'm going to try Google next. This was genuinely so simple, I'm amazed a FAANG company would do this. Just practice 300 LeetCode questions and you'll be set!

It was good, tough, and long. 1. Prescreen interview with overall questions to estimate my technology knowledge and experience. It took a 15-minute talk. 2. Test task: write a project. It took 2 hours. 3. Tech interview: 3 sessions, 1 hour each.
