Average for professional software developers
Vertical promotion opportunities are endless; you can stay in the company forever. A fairly good yearly bonus. A good work-life balance.
The salary is lower than market. The bonuses are aimed for long-term benefit, i.e., stock bonuses will be vested over the 4-year period. This means they are incentivizing you to stay longer in the company instead of giving you immediate benefit. Organizational structure is all about competition. Culture is based on pseudo values, not genuine ones.

I had an OA, and then a final loop day where three rounds were scheduled back-to-back on the same day. The first round was system design, followed by LeetCode/SQL, and the final round was with a TPM manager. I think I did well, but I wasn't selected
