I had a phone interview, followed by a full day on-site.
The team was extremely friendly and welcoming.
It was possibly the best team interview I've experienced. The questions were routine and directly related to the role.

Good place to learn, but politics stagnate your growth

Pros: Good work-life balance. There are few, yet very good, technical leaders.
Cons: Not sure if you can make a great impact, and it can definitely pay better.

Great place to work!
Performance Engineer • Former Employee
Raleigh, North Carolina, United States
April 12, 2018
Pros: Great pay and benefits, challenging engineering problems, weekly beer bash, and a decent 'get things done' environment for a big company. Great place to start or end your career!
Cons: Being successful in engineering without politics is tough. There are a lot of cliquey, mafioso-type attitudes at the senior/principal engineer and technical director level; merit at that level seems based on who you know, not what you can get done.
Engineering environments are lagging, circa 1990. If you're looking to leverage new or open-source technologies, then, with a few exceptions, you should look elsewhere.
