Process
-
HR interview: This went great and was a very interesting chat.
-
Technical coding interview: This did not go so well. They asked you to complete an algorithm on a web code-share app. My issue is that the interviewer just sat there watching you struggle with no questioning about your thought process and no hints. They even asked for it to compile and run, which wasted a lot of time. No interest was shown in your other experience; it seemed to focus only on algorithms and data structures. I don't think you would have a problem passing this stage if you studied coding interviews beforehand (I didn't).

Grammarly Work Experiences
- 5.0The team is energized about ambitious goalsSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeJuly 27, 2021Pros: The company vision is quite ambitious, but the company does a great job of breaking it down into achievable next steps. An awesome set of people to work with – they are energetic, smart, and driven. Lots of freedom and focus on personal growth.Cons: Everybody is doing at least three things (no pressure or bad WLB, just a bunch of excited folks working on too many projects). This means you might not always get a meaningful review of your proposal, code, or design. The team has expanded a lot in the last year, more than doubled. We still need to scale up processes.
- 1.0Chaos in all management levelsSoftware Engineer • Former EmployeeSan Francisco, California, United StatesJanuary 20, 2023Pros: Remote working and work-life balanceCons: No diversity whatsoever, very bad HR. It's like it doesn't exist. Lost in direction, chaos in engineering teams. Poisonous performance reviews. The company culture is too bad and there's a poor selection of managers at all levels. HR enforces positive reviews on this platform, so don't believe the majority of positive voices.
