Process
I applied online, and the system automatically sent me an online assessment. After about one month, HR contacted me for a four-round onsite interview at the Seattle office. The whole process took a long time, but the view from the Seattle office was excellent.
Questions

Pros: Nice environment to work with.
Cons: The location is very bad.

Average Pay, No Support
Software Engineer • Former Employee
San Francisco, California, United States
August 6, 2021
Pros: The two pros were compensation and work-life balance. Even so, they were both average at best. There were no benefits with the compensation that made it stellar, just an average, somewhat competitive salary. Work-life balance was fine too, but I was working in tech and cannot speak to the experience of someone in the finance area.
Cons: No support, bad learning environment, no support for diverse employees. I was given a project that I had little experience with and was promised support to see it through. I not only received none but was criticized for both asking questions and not asking enough questions.
