Tech could be better
Surrounded by very bright people.
A great place to work for driven individuals who require only the minimum managerial oversight.
The culture can wildly vary depending on which team you join.
The firm in general has a desire of building its own solutions over vendor products, which means you’ll always have some new interesting initiative to build (even if it’s just rebuilding what an open-source solution would already provide).
Preference to build rather than buy technology solutions means a profuseness of buggy libraries and services with little or no documentation and support.
Often, integrating with such systems hinges on the success of who you know that can point you in the right direction (“talk to so-so who may be able to refer you to someone who may know somebody that has a foggy memory of how you use that convoluted API”).
Team cultures vary. I’ve worked on close-knit groups where everyone worked hard for the common goal, while other teams I’m just a headcount regardless of my contributions.

Data Engineer
2 Medium DSA Questions: 1. On Hashmap: Simple iteration over an array and searching the hashmap. 2. Shortest Path Algorithm: Finding the source to destination in minimum steps. Follow-up questions included time complexity and how the approach coul
Software Engineer
Two coding questions of easy-medium level. The interviewer was very friendly and made me comfortable. One question was based on hash maps, and the other was a math-based problem involving rotation in a cycle.
SWE Intern
The process was quite long, approximately five months from application to offer. However, it was not difficult, and the questions were easy. The extended timeline was likely due to submitting my HireVue around the holidays.
