Has high potential but needs to change its culture
Lots of great products to work on. Diversity in culture. High potential because of the smart people in there. A great integration story is possible.
We need to eliminate lots of people who are resting and vesting here. We need to learn to be agile, be more nimble, and give more power to the engineers.
Do not micromanage. Provide directions and let the creativity flow. Please remove many unnecessary principal people who are sitting idle or trying to create random work. Reduce test managers and leads and give power to engineers.

It was one round, two interviews: one technical and one behavioral. It took about a month to get the interview request and a week to hear back. The behavioral round also had some minimal technical questions.
