High impact, low pay
High impact, low pay
The food is nice, and you can play soccer.
The company has a huge portfolio of products and is well diversified with many different areas to work on.
I'd say it's a great resume builder.
Woke culture is awful. Managers have a lot of power, and politics rule over your advancement. They also don't let you reach a leadership position if you are not a minority without a ton of paperwork and them finding and interviewing a minority. Pay is lower than other tech companies, and work-life balance is not there; I consistently work overtime.
Increase compensation by meaningful levels.

I applied through a staffing agency. The interview consisted of four LeetCode-style questions. The interviewers were very generous with the time and gave you several hints. I recommend reading up and studying basic graph and string parsing questions

They flew me out to Redmond, WA. The process took the entire day. It included four one-on-one interviews. Each interview featured one technical question after a brief discussion of my resume and questions about the company.

The process took four weeks. There were three rounds, which is a common interview style for IC2. The full loop consisted of two system design rounds, covering both LLD and HLD, and a third coding round with an easy question for the Commerce and Ecosy
