Smart Team, Silos & Politics
Smart Team, Silos & Politics
Smart people, breadth of work across a large product portfolio. A great company for managers.
Too many silos, too much politics, and a very low salary for old-timers.
Quitting for a couple of years, going to a competitor, and coming back for a higher salary works very well here.
No scope for ICs to grow.
Bring salary of old-timers on par with industry.

First round phone call with the talent team. We discussed their experience and the roles they have in the space. Then, we moved on to some technical questions and talked about the rest of the interview process.

Fast and quick, but the questions were tricky. The interviewer was nice, and we got along well. The interview process was efficient, and communication was clear throughout. I appreciated the professionalism and friendliness, though preparation is key
Engineer
This was a standard coding screen: a technical coding challenge with your language of choice (I used Python) in a CoderPad-like editor. This followed an initial recruiter screen, which was just to make sure the resume and job matched.
