WLB can get skewed due to PSC/Performance culture. Engineering culture can get a bit political, where you find yourself doing more alignment, signal boosting, etc. vs. doing actual engineering (but this is team/org dependent as well).
Their recruiter reached out, and I agreed to interview. I went on campus for the first stage, which was one simple question. After that, they asked me to come back for a loop of five interviews: three coding, one design, and one cultural fit.
Meta: 1 phone screen (LeetCode) Onsite: * 2 LeetCode rounds (2 medium-hard questions each) * 2 system design rounds * 1 behavioral round Filler text. Filler text. Filler text. Filler text. Filler text. Filler text. Filler text. Filler text.
The recruiter was nice, and all the interviewers were friendly. I solved all the questions but still failed the interview. I think they really need code that is totally bug-free! It is said interviewers will run the code from a whiteboard.
