Great ICs, terrible leadership
A lot of very smart people work here.
Leadership is the weakest link. After two rounds of layoffs, we're stuck with the same bad leaders while having fewer engineers to help with the work.
Bring in new leadership from established financial companies, not startups.

Basic phone screen, then a lot of rounds begin: 1. Coding problem - LC medium problem. Anyone that did some LC problems can solve this. The interviewer for this part, if it is the same for everyone, is a VERY nice guy. 2. Behavior with Management
