Process
It was a relatively short interview, likely the first of several.
The questions were software development focused, with an emphasis on how I solved previous problems and the sorts of bugs I was familiar with.
They were interested in Python and Ruby experience, as well as my knowledge of higher-order functions such as map and reduce.
Questions
How would you design a test harness that could massively scale?

Good Colleagues, Manager Issues
Quality Engineer • Former Employee
Sunnyvale, California, United States
March 17, 2016
Pros: Great colleagues, family-orientated company. There are a ton of incentives, from gym membership and an international cafeteria to stock options and employee parties.
Cons: Typical managers have more than eight employees to manage. This equates to managers not being aware of the duties and tasks an employee is taking on. The last four years have equated to cut-backs (i.e., layoffs due to "TRANSFORMATIONS"). Management has difficulty directing talent in the department I was within. There is no room to push through the glass ceiling to management UNLESS you find a department that is not cutting back due to the transformation.
