Process

While long and disjointed, I really enjoyed the initial coding collaboration exercise.

There were smart people, but not all were engaged. Some seemed unprepared.

I suggest reading the resumes and appearing as though you want people to work there.

Questions

Why bother disclosing?

Motivated coworkers and good pay, but poor management

Sr. Software Engineer • Current Employee

Pros: Competitive pay and highly intelligent engineers.

Cons: Management does not seem to care about employees' well-being. The return-to-office mandate is unpopular. The unspoken rule is that if you want to move up, you need to work overtime and on holidays. Management saddles teams with too many projects, thinking AI will make it possible, and then tells them to get on board or get out. There are aggressive, high-pressure product owners and management.
