Varied work and unlimited PTO, but low pay concerns
Varied work and unlimited PTO, but low pay concerns
There is lots of variation in the kind of work you can do and the types of culture you can find due to the sheer size of the company. If you don't like your team, you can transfer to another.
Unlimited PTO is a huge plus. You never have to worry about taking time off for anything, even last-minute doctor's appointments.
Health insurance is pretty great.
The pay is lower than most other companies in the area. Interesting and impactful work can be hard to find, and there has been very little stability in terms of layoffs.

The interviewer was very friendly and discussed the company culture first, before presenting a LeetCode medium problem. After that, the process took a while, but they were extremely backlogged due to a shortage of people wanting to interview.

This was a telephonic interview. I was not asked anything related to the technologies I had applied for (C#, SQL, XAML). Instead, the questions were very generic, focusing on data structures and algorithms.
