Good Tools, Toxic Competition
Good Tools, Toxic Competition
Great exposure to the real software development cycle. Great tools, buildings, and food, etc., working for a large corporation.
The group I worked in was very competitive internally. I did not find that I liked the stack ranking system very much, as it fostered a spirit of working against your coworkers instead of with them.
I would say that getting rid of the stack rank system, and coming up with ways to reward employees that are solid and continually add value, instead of making it seem a bad thing that they are good at their job.

The process took four weeks. - 1 in-person screen at a job fair - 2 in-person screens on site All interviews had some kind of technical aspect. They were all about a LeetCode medium-level question.

A telephonic interview was followed by a one-on-one interview. Both interviews went well. The telephonic interview mostly covered my background and experience, with some Computer Science fundamentals questions.
