Senior Solutions Architect Interview Experience - United States
Process
Long, drawn out, and the expectation to learn their product to demo was quite arrogant. That being said, people were friendly. It was just a very disorganized process. I think they were in a hyper goth phase, and this distracted from the interview process. It was long, but I also kept getting shuffled around to different groups.

Technically solid products, nice colleagues, booming data/AI market.Cons: Constant pressure, direct or implicit, to publish glowing reviews in a pre-IPO context. Highly political management, low tolerance for disagreement, and conflicts “resolved” by swift departures via separation transactions, fostering an omerta and daily self-censorship. Shifting corporate storytelling (diversity highlighted, then valorization of aggressive “alpha” behaviors).
