Immediate coworkers and management were good. Decent pay, but be careful about pushing for too much. I was repeatedly told I was at the top of the pay band for senior and shouldn't expect much in terms of raises. It feels like that put a target on my back as someone who they could cut to save a lot of salary.
Fired 32% of their employees and then is posting jobs to fill engineering positions. Seems like if there was any forethought, they would have fired less and moved people into those roles.
Or perhaps people decided to leave after having watched Checkr reduce their benefits and change their remote-friendly working policies. Not much room to grow career-wise, unless it is in responsibilities and workload but not title and pay.
Shifts in focus, priorities, and reorganization of teams take place frequently. You will get a lower annual review if you work on things that do not directly generate revenue, even though your engineering and product managers tell you what they want you working on and you don't have much choice which team/focus you are on.
In the end, no matter how much you contribute and how good a worker you are, you are entirely reliant on C-staff to not mismanage the company, resulting in reductions in the workforce. Which unfortunately they have done repeatedly!
Do yourself a favor and resign. Replace C-staff with people who don't repeatedly make the same mistakes and mismanage funds by wastefully spending money on trips and forcing people back into the offices, resulting in needing to fire 32% of your workers.
I initially had a call with the recruiter, then a name matching exercise, and a hiring manager round. I was really shocked to see that the hiring manager wanted to run my resume by his team after the third round. Yeah, you heard it right: the third
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. - First screening: A 30-minute call with a very kind recruitment manager. - Office visit: I went to the onsite office here in Providencia, which has a very beautiful view of Costanera and nice
I applied online. The process took four weeks. It's a very long process for what they pay, with more than seven interviews. - Screening - Live coding - Manager - Refactoring - Object Design - Architecture Design - REST API The hiring manager, David
