Process
Passed the OA and had a guru interview.
My most familiar language is Java, but the interviewee kept asking me JavaScript questions for about forty minutes.
It seems the interviewee is knowledgeable about frontend, but the position I was applying for is general. I am NOT applying for an entry-level front-end engineer.

Known Company, But Directionless
Entry Level Software Engineer • Former Employee
San Jose, California, United States
November 21, 2023
Pros: Well-known company.
Good experience.
Cons: The company has no direction. As soon as the next big thing comes out, they will try to shift the whole company to do that one thing. They are always late to the party and competing with companies that actually hire top talent. Layoffs are commonplace, and unless you are working on the current thing, you are at risk.
