As such a large firm, there are so many opportunities, and the firm really encourages internal mobility opportunities.
Sometimes the size of the firm makes things more complicated. There is a lot of internal content that is an additional layer on top of learning the actual tech stack. As a tech company within a bank, the firm lags behind on some of the benefits and amenities often found in other tech organizations. My biggest frustration is the firm-wide push to return to office regardless of role or responsibilities. These moves and policies make no sense, particularly for many of us on the tech side of the firm. This move alone has me considering other options.
Listen to the concerns, issues, and complaints of your staff. Be more transparent in your decisions and provide data to support culture-shaping decisions, instead of ignoring and even silencing them on matters like return to office.
It started with two 45-minute technical rounds. The first one was a pair programming session, and the second one was a technical discussion on systems design. Afterwards, I was forwarded to a 30-minute behavioral round. After all that and a few follo
First, a take-home coding question with a time limit. LeetCode easy, I think. After that, a three-hour session. The people I spoke to were not really talking with me and only asking minimal questions, expecting me to fill up the rest of the time talk
Received an email from HR for an interview. Interviewed by a Lead Engineer. HR mentioned it is a technical interview but no live coding; however, there’s live coding as well. It’s a very technical interview, so be prepared for DSA, OOPs.
