Software Engineer Interview Experience - Austin, Texas
Process
This made me pretty angry. This happened to me and my friend who interviewed for a full-time position two weeks ago.
The HR representative told us that we would find out if we got the position the afternoon of the interview. Her words were: "We are a website that helps people find jobs, so we know what it's like when you have to wait to find out if you got the job or not. Therefore, we will get back to everyone by the afternoon."
I never received a response from them. I had to email them, and three days later they emailed me back saying, "Sorry, etc."
The same thing happened to my friend, except they never got back to him.

Indeed Work Experiences
- 3.0Used to be greatSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeAustin, Texas, United StatesMay 31, 2024Pros: Their central motto is "We help people get jobs." Every big meeting opens with that. It's very heart-warming and motivational. Almost everyone who wants can work remotely. If you do go into the office, there are free meals and snacks. In theory, there's unlimited PTO.Cons: They did a huge layoff in March 2023. Then another in May 2024. Over that year, the company has become a miserable place to work. They've switched to a very top-down bureaucracy where clueless directors dictate product direction with no justification. Then they scramble the org structure so all the priorities change every few months. And they decide how ratings will be decided at the end of the quarter (or maybe every 6 months...that also keeps changing).
- 3.0Excellent work-life balanceSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeAustin, Texas, United StatesFebruary 11, 2024Pros: Great teammates, great work-life balance.Cons: The company is going through some adjustment phases. This can be frustrating, but it's hopefully temporary. It's difficult to get raises or promotions in the current belt-tightening environment.
- 3.0Calm Work, Constant ChangeSoftware Engineer • Former EmployeeAustin, Texas, United StatesSeptember 30, 2025Pros: Good work-life balance, not stressful.Cons: Layoffs, reorgs every week, and a new CEO.
