Still a great company, but things were turning south after the COVID overhiring mistake
- WLB
- Engineering culture
- Great benefits
Tons of incompetent managers were hired during COVID-19 from 2020 to 2023.
Clueless leadership wastes smart talent on unimpactful tasks.
There is very limited career growth; the company prefers to hire at the next level instead of promoting internally.
Hold managers and leadership accountable. Fire the incompetent ones so things can get back on track.

On-site interview. The first interviewer was friendly and open to having a discussion rather than making it a nerve-wracking interview. The second interviewer didn't care about my approach. He was forcing me to code on the board.

Very positive experience with plenty of heads-up for the interview. I had prepared for a few days and thought it would be easy for the first round interview.
