Process
I had my first technical interview over the phone, where the interviewer shared a document for me to code.
It was not a hard question. However, I was not very well prepared for coding on the spot when someone was looking at my process. I need to be able to code easy questions under pressure.

Analyst Program is unhelpful
Software Engineer • Current Employee
New York, New York, United States
January 11, 2025
Pros: 2 years of safety. You are extremely unlikely to get laid off during your time as a SWE in the analyst program.
Cons: Because you rotate every 6 months, you don't develop any strong skill sets. By the time you get a final placement, your team is decided by the business needs rather than your preferences.
