Really bad. Sucks the soul out of you bad.
Really bad. Sucks the soul out of you bad.
None. Seriously, none. I've looked. There aren't any.
Checkr is entirely sales-driven. Whatever sales wants, sales gets. They essentially write the requirements. Product essentially are order takers. The company bends over backwards for customers who don't bring in the promised revenue. One-off solutions for 'logos'. Logos, big company names, seem to be the only thing that matters to this company. R&D leadership changes every 6 months or so. Checkr essentially masquerades as a tech company. Architecture is horrible. Billing is a mess. I think we're down to 1 infrastructure engineer. Don't know of anyone in product or engineering that is happy here. This place will make you question why you chose software engineering as a profession. Stay as far away from this company as possible!
The entirety of R&D is a flight risk. Do something! Anything is better than whatever you are doing now.

An hour-or-so phone screen with the hiring manager, then a second round of four 1-hour interviews: * Code refactoring * Architecture design discussion based on previous work * Behavioral * API coding session
