Decent pay. Decent group of people.
Huge turnover with people leaving every week due to 'policy improvements'.
Trying to become another MS or Goldman by being hard on employees and demanding, without giving a proper environment for career growth or achievement.
Politicized with people trying to take credit for success and point out other groups' failures to get a higher 'score'.
Ever-changing 'metrics' are a joke, with 'senior managers' not even knowing themselves how to do certain things while expecting the 'END TASK' delivered.
No serious good competitor, so they are going fine in terms of making money. But the day someone like Google or others focus on this area, that's when 'senior managers' or old-timers will really find their worth.
Only question to senior management is why they have such huge turnover when so-called 'superstars' are the ones hiring new staff, and projects still fail.
Look at the above cons. Long hours alone is not the only way to success. Flexibility and space for each employee is what matters.
No one can be satisfied truly if they can't get sufficient balance in learning new skills, career advancement, personal life, and fresh ideas, and importantly, space and guidance to produce good stuff.
'You get what you sow,' as far as seeing projects fail.
The interview was conducted using HackerRank. Questions focused on using data structures to organize input data and optimizing that data for retrieval/output purposes. There was a strong emphasis on space and time complexity.
It was like an HR round. The recruiter asked me why I want to be a software engineer and also why I'm interested in Bloomberg. It took about 30 minutes, and then they let me know about the next steps.
I had two rounds of technical interviews. Both featured easy questions, but I messed up the first one. The second interviewer was extremely rude and seemed uninterested. I suspect this was because of my performance in the first interview.
