Process
The interview process involved a take-home project, followed by a virtual onsite with a mix of technical and behavioral interviews.
I received good feedback throughout the process from the team. I could sense early on that the interviewers were very intentional, present, and engaged.

Pros: Henry seems very transparent and compassionate. I generally trust him. The work/life balance is good, and the offices are nice, as well as the work from home days.
Cons: The work itself can be a bit boring if you're not into finance. There's a lot of turnover with high-ranking executives, which could be a red flag.

Pros: - Remote work month.
- Get to work alongside many experienced, smart engineering folks.
Cons: At times, it seems a little all over the place. There's no single unified product, so it's a little tricky to get behind the vision(s) of management. It seems a little schizophrenic at times.
