We want to grow the company but lay you off to achieve those numbers
I like my teammates and good benefits. That's about it.
If you were on the Tessera side and did not get face time with the Checkr side, you were out, most likely.
They kept a skeleton crew behind to handle a very complex and old system. Wonder how that's going.
Two companies tried to merge into one, and they failed at that.
Tessera was still very much siloed unless you were under certain individuals or on certain teams.
They even revamped the remote policy for the worse to get people to go back to the office for more face-to-face time, but you know, excuses to watch and micromanage people.
Then they had layoffs after saying how much they wanted to grow the company – 32% were gone. So that growth is artificially inflated.
Don't lay people off unnecessarily. Take a pay cut from your executives and CEO pay, since this is a failure on all parts. It wasn't performance-based. This is ridiculous.

Checkr Interview Experiences
Software QA Engineer
Invited by a recruiter who reached out to me via LinkedIn. They didn't talk with me at all. The interview was with an SW manager. She provided a link to a CoderPad portal to write simple test cases for their API.
Associate Software Engineer
First, there is a 1-hour code interview screen. Next are three back-to-back, 1-hour interviews. One involves whiteboarding a past project, one involves whiteboarding object/database design, and one involves refactoring poorly written code. Expect on
Staff Engineer
Initial phone interviews were fine, as expected. They were pleasant and seemed to understand the technical aspect of the role. This was followed up by a technical project (4 hours), and then 4 more hours of interviews.
