Process
One 30-minute phone call from HR about basic info, including GPA and skillsets (e.g., Hadoop).
Then another 45-minute phone call from an engineer about technical questions. No screen sharing or coding occurred.
The offer was very slow; it took an entire 3 weeks after the last call.
Questions
When the key is skewed in Hadoop, what processing stage will you add?

I am leaving. I don't want to work for a sociopath
Data Engineer • Current Employee
September 30, 2025
Pros: Salary, up-to-date technical infrastructure.
Cons: 5 days RTO with minimum or no exceptions????!!!!!!!!!!! No way I am going to spend daily hours of my life and share space with hundreds of people, fighting for seating, and a normal work-life balance while being constantly distracted and bothered. Also, the viral note from CEO Stankey was the final nail in the coffin. He is a pure narcissist and psycho ruining the once good culture. I am leaving... FU.

Great people, short-sighted leadership
Data Engineer • Current Employee

Pros: Peers are engaging, smart, and fun. The work is challenging and fun.
Cons: Leadership is another story. Antiquated ways of thinking have resulted in a serious brain drain and show no sign of stopping. Strictly 5 days a week, 8 hours a day. Your time on the network is tracked, and you must provide proof of events that take you out of the office.
