Great Benefits, but Block Out On Call
Great Benefits, but Block Out On Call
- Health covers you and your partner (even if not married, as long as you are still living together). This includes free therapy.
- The company matches 50% of all 401k contributions.
- Some teams allow full work from home.
- There is a good culture, with lots of communities that you can join. It generally does not encourage working more than 40 hours per week.
Most teams have developers spend a week on call, meaning you need to drop what you're doing and log on if there's an emergency, even if it's 3 a.m. The frequency can vary from team to team.
Pay can stagnate; no one received a baseline raise in 2023.

This was a standard interview process for a software engineering position. Nothing really unusual. The staff were prepared for the interview and communicated well throughout. I do not have any negative comments.
Software Engineer
Difficult multi-stage interviews are expected. Code in front of the interviewer and speak out your thought process. Clean and efficient code is a must. Questions on optimization and efficiency come up a lot.

The interview process was smooth. The recruiters always made sure that the candidates' time, who were interviewing, was valued. The questions asked reflected how my day-to-day work at this organization would look.
