CEO has vision
smart colleagues who are often happy to share knowledge
real-world problems and applications from big-name companies that provide employees interesting things to do
poorly managed (from the CEO, whose vision sometimes bears little resemblance to reality, on downwards) culture of avoiding responsibility lack of flexibility (no work from home as already noted in many reviews, but also no childcare, minimum legal parental leave, subtle and less-subtle discouragement of WLB) a lot of hiring for "culture fit", instead of hiring for diversity of thought
Interview Process: What began as a fairly standard interview process quickly spiraled into an exhausting, opaque, and ultimately disheartening experience. Here's what I went through: * Hiring Manager Chat – Warm and engaging. Set a hopeful tone.
I only made it through the quick phone screen with the recruiter, followed by a 30-minute conversation with the hiring manager. Both were polite, and they let me know their decision fairly quickly.
I had a HackerRank assessment with mostly easy questions, but the last one was hard. I don't remember specifics, but it was about graphs. I passed all the problems but still didn't make it.
