Process

I had a call with the hiring manager, who made it very clear that I was qualified for the next round.

We finished the call by saying, “Next, you will have a technical call with a solution architect.”

I was then ghosted and had to send three follow-up emails to get any answer.

Good culture and helpful team

Solution Architect • Current Employee

Pros: Strong culture where teams always chip in to help, not just regionally but globally. Management are understanding about limited resources and task prioritization. Strong data-driven culture, which is fair to people who put in effort and generate results that are not only driven by sales numbers. Very talented individuals at every level.

Cons: Only suitable for individuals who know how to manage work-life balance. If an individual does not know how to say no or is not willing to speak up and ask to reschedule meetings or work, this is not a suitable place, as they will find never-ending work. This is typical of any startup company or organization.
