Process
Recruiter screen.
Tech screen: The interviewer was not interested in proceeding with an interview and exhibited a bad attitude. I initially presented a non-optimal solution, but the interviewer insisted on directly discussing the optimal approach. Communication was inefficient.

Pros: Amazing work environment, friendly co-workers, and a huge salary.

Senior Software Engineer • Current Employee

September 9, 2021
Pros: - Some brilliant people around.
- Large-scale tech that one has no chance to see outside global companies like this.
- Peer-to-peer mentality; few if any walls and silos.
- Good engineering culture in key systems.
- Transfers between departments are encouraged.
- Compensation, obviously!
Cons: - Being placed on a team was a huge hurdle, as team headcount was short to non-existent. Try to join before Q4 :)
- Remote work setup in 2020 was sometimes problematic, mostly from the org side.
- Internal everyday tech moves quite quickly and may sometimes be unreliable and slow you down or block you.
- Engineers (and sometimes even managers) do on-call shifts.
