Great perks with free park passes and discounts on merch and hotels. Get to work with some of the world's best IP. Provided nice office equipment.
The biggest con was a very slow and old-school engineering culture. The terms "Retired in Place" and "Not Invented Here" syndrome applied. People were afraid to modernize tooling or processes because everything was so easy to break.
High-level engineers were happy to waste days on scut work (the kind of stuff that is normally automated elsewhere). The mouse has pretty deep pockets, so it's not a skin off their back, but it's not a good atmosphere to build a career in (unless you want to be a career clock-puncher watching technology pass you by).
Engineers didn't seem to be interested in fixing bugs or doing root cause analysis, just playing hot potato with them to keep work off their plate (and so things get dropped and don't get fixed).
It was embarrassing working on software that was so unforgivably buggy and seeing how little the other engineers there cared about the impact on the end-user.
I won't waste my breath. As long as that IP money keeps rolling in, they are not interested in changing a thing.
From a closed office. VO, 4 rounds: * Algorithm and some practical questions. * BFS of a binary tree. * Hand-write a Promise. * Linked list flip every two nodes. * Some regret issues from production?
There are totally three rounds: System Design, then Behavioral Questions, then Coding. Each round lasts 1 hour, with a 15-minute break between each session. Each session has multiple questions, and the number of questions you are asked depends on you
I interviewed for a DevOps/Infrastructure position. First, there was an initial call with the manager. Then, I was invited to a panel of four interviews that consisted of behavioral questions, system design, and various questions related to security,
