Good Products, But Management Issues
Good Products, But Management Issues
Many outstanding products. Not all have the same level of quality, though. It really depends on who manages the product. Potential to be a great software company.
Senior management staff, i.e., from Senior Directors and up, do not make independent decisions. There's very much a herd instinct. Cross the wrong influential person, and your career is down the drain.
Have a hard look at the quality of Senior Directors and up. Some have been in the company so long, they are no longer relevant to the new challenges coming. Some have unduly strong, unobjective influence.

Distinguished Engineer
Talked to the recruiter and hiring manager. The first one was about 30 minutes, and the second one was about an hour. Very professional process. The interview was easy, but there was not enough alignment.
Principal Software Engineer
The interview process involved a recruiter round, an HM round, and a technical screen round. This process was frustrating and very slow. I had to follow up with the recruiter and a scheduler at every stage. It took them 2-3 weeks to get back to me

Did not have an OA (online assessment). Sent an interview scheduling request a few weeks after submitting the initial application. The first round is mostly behavioral, scheduled for around 45 minutes on the calendar.
