Great Benefits - 10% 401K match, affordable health insurance, lots of additional perks and benefits.
The whole company shuts down from Christmas to New Year's, so you get 5 extra paid days off during holidays.
Salaried employees are paid extra for working overtime.
Very bureaucratic. Software has three vertical lines of management (Software Managers, Chief Engineers, and Project Management), which each has 4-5 levels. This means there are 12-15 different all-hands meetings every quarter, where different and sometimes conflicting information is presented. Lots of red tape to get anything done.
There are so many sources of information in various locations on shared drives and intranets. Much of it is outdated, but some of it is kept up to date. There's no real way to distinguish what the current policies or best practices are, as even management doesn't know where the latest information is coming from.
Very little opportunity for growth and development. Positions end up being very specialized due to the size of the organization. You can easily wind up doing the same exact job for a decade.
Clean out all the old information, and choose one current medium to store the latest and greatest policies and procedures. Also, decrease the number of manager all-hands meetings. There are too many managers at too many levels for everyone to have their own separate meeting.
Panel Interview
Not bad, but since the software test is in pen and paper, you should practice pseudocode and not cheat. Interviews are now in the post-AI era, where companies use it extensively or not at all.
Though it was pre-recorded, there was one behavioral question, one coding question, and one recording of you explaining your solution. The question was impossible, and I later looked it up to see it wasn’t actually solvable.
