Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - Denver, Colorado
Process
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day.
Hinge chose not to move forward after the phone screening, so can't speak too much as to the process as a whole. They did mention that they would eventually require speaking to my current supervisor, which is unusual and seems extreme to me.
The primary reason for my negative impression, though, is that I received no rationale or feedback as to why the company didn't want to move forward. I chose 'average' as the difficulty because I don't know enough to rate the difficulty. Some more insight as to why I wasn't moved forward might enable me to be more specific there.

Hinge Health Work Experiences
- 1.0Once a Great Place to Work, Now Driven by Micromanagement and Unfair ExpectationsSenior Software Engineer • Current EmployeeMay 14, 2025Pros: - Talented and friendly colleagues - Interesting projects and opportunities to learn - I still enjoy aspects of the work and the mission of the companyCons: - Increasingly micromanaged environment: your working hours are closely monitored, and even the number of PRs and tickets you complete is tracked obsessively - Promotions are no longer based on technical skills but instead depend on how well you present yourself or how good you are at internal politics - Recently, around 30 people were laid off with the justification that they “didn’t perform as expected,” which created a lot of fear and uncertainty among the remaining team - Morale is declining as the culture shifts from trust and autonomy to pressure and surveillance - Collaboration and team support are discouraged because activities like pairing or mentoring take time away from individual ticket delivery, which is penalized - There is a mandatory one-week on-call rotation with no additional compensation or benefits. Developers are expected to respond within 15 minutes at any hour, meaning they can’t travel, relax, enjoy time with family, go out, or even get a proper night’s sleep during that week. In practice, this amounts to 24/7 availability with no recognition or reward

The tech stack is modern AWS, Kafka, Node.js, Python, and Ruby on Rails and tools like Cursor and Claude make daily code reviews smooth and efficient. The culture is collaborative, with talented colleagues and leadership that genuinely recognizes and rewards performance.Cons: Office space can feel a bit crowded.
