Good place to work
Good place to work
Great campus, good food. Nice culture. Good work-life balance. Happy with compensation. It is a big company, with lots of opportunities.
- It is a big company, hard to collaborate, and there are many meetings. I was in 1/5 of the day-to-day meetings compared to my previous company.
- The "move fast" strategy brings lots of tech debt (already). I have doubts about how much we prioritize future-proof design compared to implementation.
- Perks (booking benefits) could be slightly better, folks.
- Seeing more snack options would be super cool.
On the technical side, please let's focus on a particular big project and get that done, rather than 4-5 big projects (potentially impacting/blocking each other) due to many having dependencies.

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.
