Process
I gave my resume to them at the school career fair, and they asked me very easy questions like Fibonacci and memory cache. Then I got an on-campus interview. The interview was 2:1. You are required to write code on a whiteboard, but I didn't do well and didn't go any further.

It used to be a good place to work, but now there's too much politics
Software Developer • Former Employee
Chicago, Illinois, United States
July 15, 2019
Pros: Decent work environment, if you can handle the whole open concept type of seating arrangement. Pay seems pretty good.
Cons: Too much politics.
Either you're in the group of golden children or you're definitely not.
Too many high-level people, yet not very good project management.

Good company to work at

Pros: Lots of offices, so travel to many places is a perk. Groups have good projects. People are friendly (mostly).
Cons: The Linux group can be difficult to work with. There is project overlap, and you might find that you have to compete with others. I think this is a fault of management in general, but to be fair to them, they have to struggle with the politics of the job.

Plenty of drama and politics
Software Developer • Current Employee
London, England, United Kingdom
November 23, 2023
Pros: Some smart colleagues. Good amount of time off.
Cons: The people who interviewed me and the recruiters involved did not accurately describe the culture or office setup. There is a lot of drama and politics. It's incredibly inefficient and lacks transparency. It doesn't feel like much of a business plan exists. There are loads of secret meetings. The tech stack is mostly old and bloated. It is all just so unimpressive from the inside.
