Positive ExperienceGot Offer

Process

Reached out to a recruiter on LinkedIn and heard back a couple of months later for an interview.

Interviews were pretty standard: 3 rounds, 2 technical, 1 behavioral. Questions were around medium difficulty but definitely easier than the likes of Google, Facebook, Amazon, etc. After the last interview, I got an offer shortly then.

Questions

Pros: Strong work–life balance with reasonable expectations and flexibility. Freedom to work with a wide range of approved open-source tools, encouraging experimentation and learning.

Cons: Computing resources are managed independently by individual teams, leading to inefficient use of infrastructure and fragmentation. Many long-tenured employees are resistant to change, making it difficult for new hires to introduce improvements or modern practices.
