Hero Culture, Backstabbing, Run Away
Hero Culture, Backstabbing, Run Away
The pay was decent.
There was a $750 budget for the remote office setup.
The benefits were so-so.
Major disconnect between C-suite and mid-level management, continuing downward to software engineering team.
Both device firmware and cloud backend teams consistently deliver under-tested, buggy software which create continuous dumpster fires.
Hero culture: Team member value depends upon who can grab the most high-visibility bugs to fix.
Engineers compete for top hero spot. Will backstab to get out of responsibility for bugs, failures, crappy architectural decisions, etc.
Not a lot of depth to the backend team, so architecture is crappy.
Actual development tickets get less attention than the dumpster-fire-of-the-day issues.
Endless weekly architecture/bug discussions, rehashing the same stuff from week to week. Not much actually happens, unless it's to address one of the weekly dumpster fires.
Clean house.

The interview process at Flock was smooth and well-organized. It began with a phone screening, followed by coding challenges and a technical interview. The interviewers were friendly, clear, and professional.

It was nice, but it was too long and had too many rounds. I had to talk to way too many people, although the recruiter was very nice and very responsive. I wish they would revamp the interview process to be more efficient.
