Good Balance, Bad Return-to-office
Pretty good work/life balance. Longer sprint cycles mean it's not hard to deliver on requirements.
They are not a tech firm. It's the technology arm of a slow-moving, bureaucratic finance firm.
They are not embracing WFH. There were very strong years with the whole staff WFH, but now they are pushing for 3 days and eventually a full week back in the office. Lots of my team is leaving because of it.

The interview covered algorithms and theory. It was a very relaxed interview. If you got stuck, the interviewers would jump in to help. Coding was done live via some platform. The algorithm was easy, similar to LeetCode problems.
