Process
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks.
The interview process was straightforward and was not too hard. I first got sent a HireVue to complete with basic behavioral questions, then two leetcode style basic coding questions. Then they followed up with a video interview.

October 5, 2021
Pros: Good pay, sometimes. I met some smart people here.
People from different departments are generally responsive and motivated to get jobs done.
Cons: Stingy, at times even unreasonable, depending on the managers/departments.
An unhealthy sense of insecurity in mid- to low-level managers is causing unnecessary stress and quick burnout of employees.
Oh, what do you mean by "work-life balance"?
