Awesome people, never felt any tension.
Almost 0 pressure (and I'm not a "top" engineer).
Managers are all very technical, they are never out-of-touch.
No nonsense meetings that are a waste of time.
Very unique software engineering area to work on, in my opinion.
I don't feel really needed; my contribution is a drop in the ocean. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, and it's probably the same for most big tech companies, but it might not suit everyone.
Ramping up is long and hard.
The Vancouver office is a bit far from everything, about an hour from downtown Vancouver by public transit.
Two rounds: - The first was an easy LeetCode-style problem, something like removing all spaces from a string. - The second round was with two senior/lead engineers. They asked to implement a stack in C++ and explain how virtual functions work.
First HR call (30 min): Introduction and discussion of past experience. First technical round (1 hour): 2 problems * DSA problem on array (needs to be in 'C' language) * Debugging problem on class (given in 'C++') Rejected after the first te
Two-part interview: * First stage: approximately 1.5 hours. * Second stage: approximately 2.5 hours (about a week after the first one). Both parts are 100% technical, with virtually no chitchat. The questions aren't too hard, but there are qui
