A good stepping stone to better pastures
A good stepping stone to better pastures
Talented coworkers Great benefits Great starting salary
Poor compensation and career advancement opportunities. It's much easier to find another opportunity elsewhere. A lot of engineers leave after a year.
Poor work-life balance. A heavy workload is the expected norm. You can choose to take a lighter workload, but your performance review will be affected.
Poor management of project cycles. Poor recognition of individual achievements. Only top performers are rewarded appropriately. If not, you should probably leave after a year.
What do you think is going to happen after people find out new hires are getting paid much more after our paltry yearly raises?

Software Engineer
The recruiter reached out on LinkedIn, and the process was quite fast. It was only during the interview that both the interviewer and I realized the team was not a good match for me. Rejected after two rounds and no feedback. Confused.
Software Engineer
Resume screening, online assessments (for some technical roles), and multiple rounds of interviews. The process can involve phone, video, or in-person interviews with a mix of one-on-one and panel formats.
Software Engineer
The first round was about OOD and discussing past projects. The second round involved a hard-level LeetCode question and past experience. The interviewers were quite supportive during the interview.
