Ups and Downs
Ups and Downs
Good remote work culture, excellent retirement benefits, good pay, and other benefits.
Crunch culture can still be alive and well at times here, usually 2-4 months per year in crush mode.
Lots of process stuff is wrapped around everything, which can be good but I feel is mostly bad.
For example, you won't be pushing code into production willy nilly, but if you want a new computer mouse it's a 3-day ticket and requires manager approval.
The direction the company has been going over the 10 years I was there seemed to be good for employees. Crunch, burnout, and stress were not so much a thing in my last 4 years, and I felt I had more freedom. The switch to agile amortized giant waterfall crunches into little mini-crunches, which is good.

It was super easy, just Java classes and a few SQL queries. Just study up on the email they give you about what to prepare for, and you will do completely fine.

Initial interview. Great for the first part, but less so as the interview progressed. Cards held very close to the interviewers' chest. Also, for the role being requested, I felt that they might not have been senior enough.
