Decent company with solid benefits
Decent company with solid benefits
Solid, profitable company.
Pay is competitive.
Actually remote-friendly.
Company seems to make solid business decisions for the most part.
Sometimes it feels like leadership had no direction in technical decisions.
There was little interest from many software teams to collaborate outside their team or improve things that do not directly translate to material for their promotion.
There was little interest in being a real “tech” company or innovating on anything.
Make it at least seem like you actually value the sacrifice of time and sanity of your on-calls.
Provide incentive for cross-team collaboration.

I was very disappointed with the hiring process. All coding rounds were robotic in nature and missed the human/collaborative element altogether. Looking at the coding interviews gives me no confidence that I would want to work at such a company.
