DK definitely asks people to work hard, but they have generous benefits (including tuition reimbursement) and fun extras (in-office massage, haircut, and manicures; snacks; discount tickets to games/concerts) as well as competitive salaries.
As part of the tech organization, I get to work on interesting projects alongside some very smart engineers.
We have all-hands meetings that are very transparent, and the CEO will answer any question honestly; you can even submit them anonymously ahead of time if you don't want to ask in front of everyone.
There is a very strong bias for action. This could be a good thing, but sometimes it is pushed too far and results in high stress for little net benefit.
The negative media attention can also be a pain. I work for a great company, love my job, and have a great career trajectory, but when people ask me about work, it is often in this hushed tone, as if they are embarrassedly asking about a relative with addiction problems.
Please keep it up! I have never worked for a leadership team that I believed in so strongly.
Phone screen with a higher management position. I didn't like the vibe of the interviewer. He seemed a bit aggressive and didn't have a clear idea of what he was looking for.
I was contacted by a recruiter via LinkedIn. I had a phone screen, and then they sent me a HackerRank coding challenge. It was the hardest coding challenge I've had by far, including FANG companies. It was impossible for me to complete in 1.5 hours.
The technical interview consisted of one large OOP question. I was given one and a half hours to answer it. I ended up scoring 10/13 and was not invited to the next round.
