Interesting work, arrogant people
Interesting work, arrogant people
Interesting projects and teams to work on, definitely helped me technically as a software engineer. Good pay.
People were incredibly arrogant. Not many people were willing to help; they were only interested in their own agendas. There was no upward mobility for career growth. Being a manager didn’t provide any benefits besides more stress. The 401k match was poor.
Less managers, too much bureaucracy, and less management of ICs. It seems very management-heavy and difficult to innovate ideas when managers force responsibilities on their ICs. I was asked to mentor junior engineers without them needing me to.

Software Engineer
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.

Initial recruiter call Screening coding stage (2 short, easy questions) 2 coding (LeetCode medium) + 1 system + 1 experience (about your previous project) + 1 value for the final round
