Everything is about PSC
Everything is about PSC
- Supportive managers
- Talented coworkers
-
Most projects are calibrated towards PSC, to claim personal or team impact. They will be thrown away after one or two halves.
-
Expect to have an unstable stack all the time. You are always dogfooding other teams' new projects.
-
IC5 or lower roles will be working like a cog for most of the time.
-
On top of the "cog" work, of course you need to come up with new "directional" designs every half. You need endless alignment to get buy-ins for your design, or abandon it. In the latter case, your mid-year or year-end review will be impacted.

The process was quite navigable. The first two rounds were phone interviews (during COVID, granted) with a couple of programming questions, each taking 5-10 minutes. My interviewer was a bit hard to understand, but asked interesting questions.

The HR assistant sent material to prepare for the phone interview. There was a phone and live coding interview with a tech manager. The task was not an easy one, and the interviewer was very helpful.
