Process
The first phone interview went great with a QA.
The second phone interview involved the QA Lead, who asked how to assess and ensure quality for an hour.
I provided thoughtful, detailed answers, but he responded with only "OK" after each of my responses, making it seem as though my answers weren't good enough. This experience was annoying, awkward, and not personable; he seemed stuck up. It felt like he wanted to hear only what was already in his head.
Thanks to him, that was the last round.
These interviewers need training on interviewing techniques. It is a two-way interview, and I was so disappointed. It felt like a waste of time talking to the recruiter, completing round 1, and then having round 2 be so subjective.

We have an environment where we are empowered to do the best that we can for your team, and for our customers.Cons: Nothing to share at the moment.
- 2.0Great Pay, Company CollapsingSenior Software Engineer • Former EmployeeSan Francisco, California, United StatesMay 3, 2023Pros: Remote work, pay is near FAANG-level compensation.Cons: The company is going downhill fast. It cannot develop any new products to stay relevant, so it's making various random grab acquisitions and pivoting its entire company strategy every year. It just did a mass layoff.

We've been getting 1 day PTO company-wide since Mar 2020, which is very generous. * Transparent leadership.Cons: Decision-making is slow across the org, though things are changing.
