Love the company
Love the company
Lot of great projects to work on, great life-balance, especially compared to the competition, perks and prestige galore.
Only true geeks can really love the place – not really a con for me. Also, it hasn't grown much in a decade, so opportunities for promotions are really rather limited. Young ones and diversity candidates are definitely favored there. But regardless, even if you are young and "diverse" and you really want to get to the top, you will have a much better chance at a smaller, fast-growing company.
It is a golden age in tech. Now is the time to take those risks. It won't always be this way.

Straightforward but took several months. Interviews all went well. Then, for my final interview, I had a no-show for one of my three rounds. I believe this severely impacted my final outcome, as the other two rounds went really well.

The interview involved two phones, with one group completing five rounds. Each round lasted 44 minutes, followed by a 15-minute break. The interviewers were nice and friendly. I was able to answer most of the questions.

Great conversation with the manager, an exceptional interaction with the team, and a very keen interest in what else I could bring to the organization. I had three interviews to get the job.
