Good vision but disastrous execution
Good vision but disastrous execution
I had the opportunity to work with some very good engineers, a good tech stack and overall good quality standards in a quite interesting area.
- Lack of focus and very poor product management.
- Recurring blaming games among employees and business units.
- Poor leadership.
- Lack of transparency and accountability.
- Toxic culture, particularly from some of the more tenured employees who got into more senior positions during the initial growth of the company without really being ready for such positions.

Circle Interview Experiences
Software Engineer
The first two stages were CodeSignal coding assessments, the first in the language of your choice, the second in Java, C#, or Golang. Despite passing the first stage, the recruiter ghosted me and hasn't replied to any of my emails.

Applied online after finding the post on LinkedIn. Interview was split into two sections, an initial tech screening with a single engineer then the main interview split into 4 sections, technical design, technical question, behavioral with engineerin

Screening round was just 20min. Tell me about yourself and then shared culture/role at Circle, didn't have expectation to know space strongly. The culture seems transparent and company is independent
