Process
Take-home coding challenges are often too long to complete. I spent a few hours on one only to be not heard back from the company. No solution was posted, so if you weren't selected for an interview, you basically wasted 2+ hours of your life.
Questions

Pros: A lot of non-technical work. Office politics is heavy here, and backstabbing to get ahead is a real thing. If you're a sociopath or a manipulator, you'd do great here.
Cons: The bureaucracy and leadership team don't listen to employee feedback. There's tons of hypocrisy around.
Arbitrary OKRs and KPIs are used to make the leadership team look better, with high quotas for PIP/forced arbitration biannually.
