Company hires young, smart, ambitious people who are eager to learn and perform, so you’re surrounded by great energy all the time.
Lots of opportunity to have a real impact on the product.
Recent changes to company perks are a nice touch, including free food, drinks, and rewards.
Only the sales team are shouted about. We have some people who work day and night and get next to no recognition, including in our dev team and tech support team. It appears that some people in the team get rewarded (sending to work abroad on request) while people here just as long get verbal gratitude at best. Sales and pilots seem to get elaborate promotions and position changes (I haven’t ever even met half of the C team). Where is this for Cambridge? There are people on the team (e.g., product, dev) who should be running departments and being enabled, but they’re basically reporting to sales.
Enable your best people to lead and don’t bring in other departments to dictate what goes on. There are long standing people on your staff who are ready to leave due to a lack of this. Promote internally. Also more importantly please do something about the lack of racial diversity.
First round interview: light chat and a few quick technical questions. Second round interview: more chatting, a bit more technical, but mostly trying to learn about me, then a longer programming exercise.
The first interview was just a quick chat with some very small system design questions, like how to improve an API, what to take into account when designing an API, and a barcode question.
Mostly very standard. 5 minutes of introduction, followed by 15 minutes of solving a coding question, followed by 15 minutes of solving a puzzle on the whiteboard, followed by a couple of STAR questions. The puzzle was a pretty weird abstraction of
