Used to be great
Used to be great
Great compensation and benefits.
Great opportunities for vertical and horizontal movement.
Poor work/life balance (even though they like to talk about it a lot).
Poor review model - nothing in the review model rewards a team mentality, but promotes individual achievement.

A recruiter contacted me around mid-September. I then had a 5-round onsite interview, plus an additional General Hiring Manager interview a week ago. After that, the recruiter disappeared without providing any update. I will treat this as a reject

The interviewers were very courteous and genuinely interested in me. There were five interview rounds scheduled for me, with a 10-minute gap between them. They also provided a person to accompany me for lunch, and it was a wonderful experience.
