Process
There are three stages of interviews, and all of them went very smoothly. The reason I am leaving a bad review is that I wasn't informed about the exact reason for rejection. Instead, they sent me a generic email claiming they will move forward with other candidates.
I find this quite disrespectful, considering the three interviews I had until that moment. My impression about this company was great, especially with the fact that they don't ask too many technical questions and you don't need much experience for this role. That's what I was told in all three interviews.
However, that last moment was like the worst thing that could have happened. I would much rather appreciate a more specific reason for the rejection so I could know what points to improve on next time. Also, I received the final feedback from their recruiting team instead of the recruiter who was notifying me all the time.
This, however, doesn't mean the company is bad. I just didn't like the final approach I received. It's very odd.

- 3.0Good as could be expected, with downsides common for a large corporationDevops Engineer • Former EmployeeMay 3, 2023Pros: - Decent bonuses - Good values & culture. - Nice office perks. - Unlimited PTO. These were in my work area, no guarantees on existing systemically: - Lack of office politics; focus and recognition are based on contribution. - Excellent peers. - Decent to good immediate managers.Cons: "Raises" adjusted for inflation are yearly pay cuts. Job security and loyalty seem to be a thing of the past. Extensive system knowledge and 9 years of working up through the ranks only to be dismissed in a mass reduction of force that surprised and demoralized my peers. Left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing vibes. Mandates were passed from internal teams to product teams without any acknowledgement of incurred cost, such as increasing headcount to meet demands or changing the roadmap of product milestone dates. Some examples are CI/CD platform transitions, coding language transitions, data source transitions, metric reporting transitions, logging transitions, as well as frequent transitions of OS image, infrastructure versions, and detected vulnerabilities. Product teams that take internal requirements seriously (like the one I was on) are overwhelmed by the effort delegated to them, and there is a good chance the product teams that are able to perform well are ignoring many internal requirements. Schizophrenic product decisions. Create a product to design, then switch to a new streamlined product that was never intended to see use, then abandon the first product to create a nearly identical product. Customer feedback is solicited, then ignored, severely limiting the value of the product. I concede I could be missing data driving these decisions, but as an engineer, it feels bad when your hard work is wasted by decisions above your pay grade.
