December 1, 2021

Neutral ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I received a call from HR. They then sent me a link for a coding challenge. You have one week to start the coding challenge, but once you open the link and click start, you have 90 minutes. There were two questions, and I solved both of them. After that, I got an email that said I was in the next step and should send my resume. I sent my resume but never got an answer back.

Good Perks, Terrible Leadership

Software Developer • Former Employee

Pros: Good benefits and work-life balance

Cons: Terrible leadership and organization. Five re-orgs in five years. "Bro-y" leadership hires friends as management, and no work gets done. Team members who actually do work are incredibly demoralized. It's said that you can switch teams or roles if you're interested, but this is not true. You have to get all sorts of permission. It's the corporate red tape.
