Depends on which team you're on
Depends on which team you're on
The work-life balance is decent, unless the teams are finalizing to ship their game.
The idea of the company is cool in the sense that it's not just another cubicle nation.
Politics. Politics. And more politics.
If you aren't a part of the "good ole' boys'" network, then don't plan on staying. It is more about how well you play the political field rather than how much of an expert you are in a particular area.
Unfortunately, the wrong "leaders" are in leadership positions, inherited by tenure rather than performance.
As I mentioned, it is relative to which team you are on, so you will see mixed reviews. On my particular team, I am astonished at the level of cut-throat politics that goes on.
Fire the junior leaders that you all know aren't performing.
Don't make excuses for them; it's not worth losing good talent.
Reward those who do excellent in their roles based off of their impact, not by how well they play Machiavelli.

A first screening with the recruiter to talk about the position. An interview with the software engineering lead, and then three more rounds of interviews. One of them was "culture add" and then two technical interviews, which were pretty similar.
