Most coworkers are fun, fully remote & pay/benefits are adequate.
The company is very disorganized and doesn’t have a clear vision for the future. Calm had its biggest success during COVID, but things have been downhill since then. Management talks a lot but doesn’t follow through, and there’s no real plan for moving forward.
Projects are poorly planned, and you often have to figure things out on your own with little support. It can be frustrating working in an environment where priorities are unclear and you’re left to handle things independently.
For those seeking clear leadership, I would advise considering other options. The lack of long-term strategy and accountability has a negative impact on the overall work culture.
Focus on action over discussion. The business is in decline, and it's clear that more time should be spent implementing solutions rather than just brainstorming ideas. Prioritize execution and provide clearer guidance to the team to help move things forward.
- Non-technical phone interview. - Behavioral interview with one of the managers. - One round of solving a DSA problem. - One round of solving a system design problem. - One round of technical knowledge interview. - One round of non-technical intervi
Straightforward process. Easy to navigate. I talked to a recruiter, then the hiring manager, other members of the team, the office manager, and finally the founders of the company. The timing was easy and went fast.
The recruiter was extremely fake, rude, and sounded disinterested. You can tell I was just a diversity metric. I could tell she was waiting to get off the call. Don’t list humility as a value if you can’t show it yourself.
