Process
I applied online.
I interviewed at CoreWeave in January 2026. The process started with an HR screening, which went smoothly. The second round was a technical interview with the hiring manager, who was impressed with my background but suggested transitioning me to an intern role since I wouldn't be available full time until May 2026.
After that, HR sent a follow-up email confirming my details had been forwarded to the intern hiring team — and then complete silence. No updates, no decision, nothing. I followed up with the HR contact multiple times and received no response. The lack of communication after a genuinely positive process was disappointing and left a poor impression overall.

- 2.0Demanding schedules, grueling hours, bad managementOperations Engineer • Current EmployeeNew York, New York, United StatesNovember 7, 2024Pros: The strong camaraderie among co-workers (not management) helps to alleviate some of the stress from demanding schedules. Additionally, the company offers solid benefits, which provide a measure of security and support for employees. These positives can be a silver lining, making the experience more tolerable for those who value strong peer relationships and comprehensive benefits packages.Cons: The company suffers from a toxic work culture characterized by unrealistic deadlines, excessive work hours, and a lack of recognition for employees’ efforts. Management relies on fear-based tactics rather than support, while hoarding information and creating silos that hinder collaboration. The lack of work-life balance, with employees working late and skipping meals, contributes to severe burnout and disengagement. High turnover rates reflect deep-rooted dissatisfaction and poor leadership, making it difficult for the company to retain talent and sustain productivity. Without a major cultural shift, the organization risks ongoing instability and reputational damage.
