Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - Spain
Process
I first interviewed with the HR girl from the USA. She didn't pay me any attention. Even though I told her several times that I had experience with Kubernetes, she ended up asking me if I had experience with Kubernetes. It was like talking to an automaton.
After that, I had an interview with the manager. He told me he was going to follow a script of questions and that I couldn't ask any questions.

- 3.0It used to be awesomeSenior Software Engineer • Former EmployeeBoston, Massachusetts, United StatesMarch 26, 2025Pros: A while ago, it was an aggressively cool place with a lot of vision. Now... it looks good on a resume?Cons: The leadership confuses 'chasing growth' for vision. The most innovative products and features are dead or KTLO, while leadership mindlessly chases Copilot, which is already being outdone by Cursor and Windsurf. They are also pushing for a 'performance culture,' which would be fine, except they don't state what that means. They're just making folks anxious and ruining morale for no good reason.
