Great WLB, unlimited PTO is actually unlimited.
Great pay, especially for remote and the excellent WLB. You can get a little higher elsewhere, but nowhere I know of has as good a culture.
"Virtual first" = remote 99% of the time with travel 2-4x/year, which works great for me. Offsites are just like work vacations and are almost more for team bonding than productivity.
Very, very low chance of RTO since we have no offices anymore (you can book on-demand desks in many locations though).
Good benefits:
Good transparency around compensation, promotion cycles, etc.
Product velocity can be slow, but higher-ups try to speed up work by arbitrarily saying we need to halve our timeline right after layoffs and without a clear plan.
Leadership is becoming more transparent with planning farther out, but the chill vibes from last year have still morphed into more pressure from leaders to move quickly.
Slow stock growth.
Leadership has cut some benefits recently:
401K match of $6K is less than other top-tier software companies.
Started with a technical assessment via CodeSignal, which was kind of uncomfortable. Monitoring by camera, microphone, screen share, ID upload, selfie, etc. A lot of work to keep someone in a high-pressure environment, but I think the standards are "
First was a Codility proctored exercise for 90 minutes. There were around 4 levels. The problem was that if you got stuck in level 2, you could not get to levels 3 and 4. The tool was not the best. I did not proceed further after a 600/1000 score.
Very pleasant interview experience. The process was pretty typical: * A conversation with a recruiter. * A technical phone screen. * An on-site interview, which was split over two days. This was nice in a way, but it also drew the process out.
