Large company, you can feel safety here. Nobody will fire you, and salaries are good enough.
The company doesn't care about quality of work, quality of product, or quality of anything. Nobody cares how much money could be spent on some doubtful engineering solution. If it could work and takes only 5000 servers, it's okay for the company. This makes for a very unhealthy atmosphere inside.
This was the first interview. In general, it was a relaxed conversation with in-depth moments. The main goals were to share information about the applicant and the company, and to see if there was a possible match. I liked the academic nuance, but
It took two to three weeks between the initial call and the live-coding interview. On the live coding, there were two engineers on the call. They were nice and appreciated my effort, even if the solution was not the best one.
- Recruiter’s Call: Motivation, recent experiences, etc. - Live Coding (1 Hour): Code on Hackerrank. No need to run and test the code. - System Design and monitoring (75 minutes) - Cultural Fit (1 Hour): This round was super weird.
