Poor Leadership: The Toll on Engineers
Poor Leadership: The Toll on Engineers
Apart from compensation and the option to work from home, there’s nothing worthwhile here.
Poor leadership without vision. They are swimming in the ocean without any goal. No innovation, toxic work culture. The performance process, called APEX, is applied on engineers only, not on leadership. Engineers are targeted not on performance, but on how much they please their manager or skip-level leader. Most managers are mere puppets, and skip-level leaders spend their time engaging in shameless flattery instead of real leadership. Specifically, the Indian senior leadership is utterly incompetent; they add no value and have no clue what they are doing.

Initial call with HR, followed by screening round with Karat. After screening, three interview rounds: First round with JavaScript coding. Next round: core React coding. Then: system design round.

The first round was Karat, and the questions were from an external source. They included some standard questions, 5 system design problems, and 2 coding problems. I was rejected in that first round. Apart from that, there were 5 other rounds as well.

I have just completed one round with Karat. Find the error in a JavaScript snippet (closure, let vs. var question). Bandwidth vs. Latency. Design a To-Do list app using only JavaScript, with no frameworks, fetching To-Dos from the API.
