Software Engineer Interview Experience - United States
Process
Interview process was well organized and coordinated. Recruiter reached out within a week timeframe to schedule a 30 minute call. My five interviews after were within a 6 week span.
First interview was with hiring manager to get an understanding of my technicality and to also explain the role. The four other interviews consisted of technical and behavioral questions(combination of asking from past experiences and discussing my approach to tackling problems/designs).
Questions

- 5.0Outstanding place to workSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeSalt Lake City, UtahSeptember 18, 2019Pros: Super remote-friendly, fast paced, lots of engineering challenges. Using a cool tech stack, cool architecture. Lots of opportunity for advancement. Very strong interview/onboarding process, upper-tier (not quite FAANG but still extremely good) compensation/benefits. Managers, mine at least, are vested in helping their direct reports succeed in their careers, get promoted, etc. Very supportive environment.Cons: Technical debt in some areas of the org; consistency in engineering practices could be greatly improved. There is a lot of expectation, so you better be prepared to put in the work and get up to speed. Not a place to "park" your career by any means.
