Process
It’s a long process that can be shortened to four, or at most five, interviews by combining some steps. However, they’re flexible with scheduling, so I was able to complete all interviews within 15 days. All the interviewers were kind and supportive throughout.

Pros: The compensation is the only good part of this job.
Cons: - headlong rush to shoehorn AI into everything, despite protests and very good reasons to avoid this.
- cutthroat quarterly review cycle.
- required "stack ranking" -- 15% of us must get "low performance".
- feature factory with no regard for tech debt or platform stability.
- individual bosses have an outsized influence on your ability to succeed and get promoted.
- middle management pushes foolish pet projects forward without regard to team capacity or best practices.
- morale is low, and management really doesn't care.
