Senior Android Developer Interview Experience - Seattle, Washington
Process
First round: HR call.
I recently applied for this role, noting the growth of the EV market. I was shortlisted and had this call.
Overall, it went well, but then I found out they wanted people to come in five days a week (strictly onsite), which I agreed to.
Questions
This role was within their infotainment team, and they wanted someone to work on Android Auto. I have been an Android developer for over 8 years, but Auto was new to me. Consequently, the recruiter started lowballing me when I asked about compensation. Overall, it was a bad experience because they wanted someone to relocate from WA to CA, offered a low salary, and were rigid about the onsite requirement.
It's hard to see someone with decent skills signing up for this company. It might be a good option if you are entry-level, but I wouldn't recommend it otherwise.

Just my experienceCons: Not much work life balance - maybe you already knew that People managers are often overburdenened which can make it difficult for individual contributors to get the support they need Teams can also be relatively small for the amount of work there is to do. It's a growth opportunity but also requires a lot of dedication on everyone to put in extra and do more than just the 9-5.
