Good benefits but often boring work
Good benefits but often boring work
Good benefits, a competitive salary on a country level, and a good work-life balance.
Work can be boring, especially in low-paid offices. They move old projects from the US to a cheaper location so that more engineers can maintain them.
Salary is competitive, but only if compared with local jobs. In Warsaw, the salary is much lower than in Zurich, even though you often work with them. The attitude of many engineers is "do 2 years here, move to Zurich / US, etc.", which is demotivating. Some managers are hired quickly and don't seem to be very skilled.

This is difficult. A solid understanding of data structures and algorithms is needed. You have to practice LeetCode a lot. You also have to practice system design questions. Computer science fundamentals should be clear. Passion towards software engi

They asked questions about software engineering and how I would approach several reasonable problems. The interviewer was smart and could tell the difference between good and bad answers very effectively. I do not think this is fakeable.
