Process
There is a coding challenge that asks 3 questions; the first two are more standard languages and the third is a WebDev-based one. The recruiters were very friendly and, from my research, the interviewing process is very well thought out!

Toxic review process
Software Engineering Manager • Current Employee
August 10, 2026
Pros: Nice people, a good mission, and free lunch.
Cons: The quarterly performance review process is creating anxiety at every level and leading to a performative culture. If you aren't nice to this person, will they torch you with negative feedback? I have to explain this to my team when I don't agree with it. This is a toxic system, and it came from the top.
