Totally unprofessional from the beginning. Their HR is a disaster.
Took almost a month just to schedule an interview, with many reschedules in between.
The workplace stinks inside out, I swear. Just visit once and you will know.
Engineers are packed like slaves inside. No space to even walk around without hurdles.
They think they are Google just because they are next door. They try to copy Google in every aspect, but they don't realize they are not even close.
Engineers and the managers I spoke with are absolutely clueless on the technology and e-commerce side. They think they are smart.
Most of these guys seemed like C programmers and still think that way to program in Java!
They don't seem to understand Java Concurrency at all. They don't even know Merge Sort!! Seriously. But they think they are the smartest. Many of them were really rude.
But I demonstrated right to their face how immature they were in terms of technical know-how.
All in all, this company is a disaster. I think it is just foolish to hire people on LinkedIn. It is not hard to build a fake community of referrals on it.
The 2B evaluation is just one more bubble waiting to be burst. With the kind of engineers they have, I doubt their success.
