Process

I passed the coding round. That person was quite good-natured.

Then, after that, I had the hiring manager round. For the HM, the experience was pathetic. The person was rude. He was just throwing questions and didn't have any response. One after the other, he was simply asking.

Good pay, but too competitive

Senior Software Engineer • Current Employee

Pros: The work environment is competitive and everything moves fast. It can be good training for juniors. But for seniors, if you don’t pursue exactly what you want, the work will just be draining.

Cons: Engineers also need to care about politics. How things look matters more than what you actually did.
