Process
Had an initial call with a recruiter who insisted on a phone interview ASAP. The phone assessment had two easy-to-medium algorithm questions. I passed and moved on to an interview the following week. I did okay but never received an update.

Pros: In-office perks are great. Employees are kind. The work is tough and encourages you to grow.
Cons: Management gives incorrect information about how you are doing relative to what is expected. Final reviews are not fair, and managers mislead you into complacency when you will be judged much more harshly by others.
