Work-life balance is out of whack
Work-life balance is out of whack
Brand name. Difficult & challenging assignments: a great "boot camp" for future opportunities.
Workload increases constantly.
Most of my peers and coworkers are constantly putting in 60-70 hour weeks just to keep up, as well as giving up vacation time.
We feel like we are being ground to bits at this pace.
What used to be a work-life balance benefit (work from home) has turned into you-are-on-call-20hrs/day.
I get the pressures of the current economy, but this is not sustainable.
Start asking us for our opinions again in meaningful ways. You need broad coverage from all demographics, not just the un-married 20-somethings.

The interview process was smooth and well-organized. Communication was clear throughout, and each step felt professional and respectful. The questions were relevant to the role, and the interviewers were friendly, making it a comfortable experience
Software Engineer
The interview process involved multiple rounds, and was mostly behavioral. You make each round consecutively. The last round was with the hiring manager, who didn't even know what ChatGPT was. I had to break down how it works.
