Decent Company with a Few Glaring Issues
Decent Company with a Few Glaring Issues
- They are decent with their tech; the tech stack is modern and efficient.
- There is good career progression (in most teams) and some mentorship.
- There are some networking opportunities.
There are often silent layoffs and firings. There is a culture of firing people who have been at the company for a while. I have heard of cases of firing without a PIP in place.
They are more ruthless, and a sink-or-swim culture is now in place.
There are many cases of management stepping down to the IC level because of tough company expectations.

OA, behavioral, technical. The process itself was pretty straightforward and nothing out of the blue. It was a standard Leetcode-style OA with behavioral questions from HR. The technical interview was also standard with engineers.
Software Engineer
Fast interview. Coding was non-LeetCode, focused on system design and parsing logs. Lots of chats about the resume and past experiences; this seemed like the most important signal. Overall, a very fast turnaround and a fair interview.
