Process
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks.
The process took over a month, consisting of five interviews at one interview per week. In the final stage, they informed me that they were considering me and another candidate, and then they scheduled a final interview. In the end, they didn't choose either of us and reopened the position.

Pros: The pay is good, but it is dwindling.
Cons: Toxic management, no feedback, instant layoffs, constant reorgs, sociopathic CEO and minions, no backbone, no trust in employees, if you want to emote "lfg" to Slack manifestos that you have to write AI skills to replace yourself then go for it. Soulless corporate bs nonstop, daily death march to do more.
