Process
I applied for a software engineer position. I got an OA the next day and a video interview the day after completing the OA. The questions were easy, except that the video interview only gives a very short amount of time to think and answer the questions.
Questions
OA questions are artifacts. The problem is with the video interview, which is standard behavior questions.

Utter lack of transparency
Software Engineer • Current Employee
Chicago, Illinois, United States
January 24, 2024
Pros: The fully stocked kitchen is very nice and very welcomed. If you have to be in the office daily, you might as well get fed at work. This is done well.
Cons: Very little transparency in decision-making. They tell us a few things here and there, but major things just happen, and we cannot ask questions, nor are we given reasons why. Long-term employees are being terminated, senior people, but the firm does not communicate. And if they don't know how to communicate, hire a PR firm that can tell you what to say. Right now, the silence is deafening and is hurting morale.
