Process
It was supposed to be a one-hour interview, but the interviewer just took half an hour to finish it. There was no coding test. All the questions were technical and pointed to the newest techniques.
Questions

Dynamic Culture, a bit too chaotic
Software Engineer • Former Employee
New York, New York, United States
November 17, 2022
Pros: * Strong top-management team
* Transparent culture
* Great growth opportunities
* Smart and talented employees
* Great benefits
Cons: No technical strategy on the mobile side.
Lots of low-quality code, especially in the back-end. For example, 1000-line methods are not uncommon.
No apprenticeship practices: senior engineers write code instead of sharing their experience and helping less experienced ones grow.
Many software engineers act like mercenaries and often fulfill their personal needs without looking at the bigger picture, thus hurting the company.

Inflation was 8%? We will give you a 5% raise.
