Great community of young folks. Good mentorship. It's the norm to work on cutting-edge software technologies.
Big corporation bureaucracy. Experience is manager dependent. Salary and pay are not always aligned with market coverage.
Hire less. Pay each engineer more. Focus on improving internal mobility.
I arrived at their McLean office at 11:30. After waiting about 10 minutes, two employees came and took us to lunch. It was supposed to be a tour to show us a room to store our belongings. But instead, we had lunch first. The lunch ended at 1:00 p.m.
I was sent the CodeSignal assessment immediately after applying and never heard back from them until months later with a rejection. I think this was because they weren't trying to hire any full-time new grads.
Very consistent and streamlined. The highlight was a 'Power Day', a single afternoon of consecutive interviews with engineers. The overall hiring timeline was very long. They asked about technical skills, system design, and cultural fit.
