Pay Benefits (benefits have gotten worse year by year but are still better than most) Incredibly smart and inspiring coworkers
Burnout Central
What once was a great culture has taken a bad turn, with a sharp decline since Covid.
Lots of politics and backstabbing.
Applied online and heard back within a few weeks. Set up a phone interview with an engineer, which involved collaborative coding questions. I didn't do very well and received a denial email a week or so later.
This was a standard process: * Intro call * Technical screening * Onsite (2 coding, 1 system design, 1 behavioral) Everything was as expected, except one of the coding and system design rounds covered topics that were quite ridiculous compare
Smooth. I got two easy to medium level questions, both of which appeared in LeetCode's recent 30 days Meta questions. Behavioral questions were fine. I got asked about a time when I didn't meet a deadline or faced conflict with my teammates.
