Process

My first HR interview was conducted via Skype. The typical HR questions focused on my motivation for the job. They also asked what I knew about the company and its products.

However, they also asked me some technical questions about OOP. I passed to the next stage, which is a technical interview I haven't done yet. Wish me luck!

Applications Support Engineer • Former Employee

Pros: Nice facility, good health benefits, profit dividends instead of stock options (private company).

Cons: The hierarchy of the company allows for the network of managers to protect each other and perpetuate a toxic culture. There's a big focus on process for many parts of the company, but not in terms of recourse for managers abusing their power. They are very against remote work and resisted it through COVID.
