Process
Went about the same as most interviews on here.
- Recorded situational behavioral questions on HireVue; you get two tries each. Then coding questions on CodeVue.
- Quick phone screen to confirm some info on your resume.
- Final 2-hour Skype interview, all behavioral questions. Know your resume.
Interviewers were nice. Coding questions weren't too hard (LC Easy/Medium).

Decent First Job
Entry Level Software Engineer • Former Employee
Chandler, Arizona, United States
January 30, 2024
Pros: It was pretty chill, with good benefits, and I learned a lot in my initial year. But after that, upper management decided to lay off the majority of senior developers and leaders across the company, which destroyed team cohesion and morale.
For those that remained, we were told to "do less with less," but in reality, it was "do more with less," and people quickly got overwhelmed.
Cons: Poor communication and transparency with upper management.
No mentoring and lack of career growth.
