Good pay, but barely any fun work
Good pay, but barely any fun work
Compensation and Benefits are pretty good.
Very little autonomy - lots of politics. My job is to make other people who decide my ratings happy in order to get higher bonuses and promotion offers. Engineering work is often not that challenging, and there's not much focus time for it.

Software Engineer II
Contacted by a recruiter. Scheduled a practice interview and aced it. Did the actual screening interview. Bombed an LeetCode easy question (I grinded mainly Medium-Hard, don't do this). Cannot reapply until 12 months from then.
Software Engineer II
Terrible. The interviewer didn't even introduce himself and provided no guidance whatsoever. There was literally a five-minute gap of silence. By far one of the worst experiences I've had at a Big Tech company.
Software Engineer II
1 screening (coding question) 2 coding rounds - 2 questions in each, LC medium 1 system design - not a standard design question 1 behavior - general behavior questions. Most difficult.
