A mid-size tech/product company with some headwinds
Overall strong culture, good work/life balance most of the time. There is less process for process' sake than at most other companies I've worked.
We have a lot more people in tech, and this has watered down the culture substantially.
There's more politicking to get ahead, and some seem to think the only way to get ahead and stay ahead is to keep others down so they can succeed. The idea of being surrounded by stellar colleagues, while somewhat true, is getting to be less and less the case.
The lack of organization in managing resources with such a huge growth spurt in engineering is working against us.
My team drastically increased head count, and somehow we're busier than we ever were before.

Participated in two phone interviews. The first was with a recruiter who was very nice and asked background and culture/fit related questions. This call went well, so I was set up for a phone interview with the hiring manager, who was also very nice

I suspect they weren't serious about hiring and were merely browsing the job market to gauge compensation trends. The initial phone screen was straightforward, primarily focusing on HashMaps, their Java implementation, and the necessity of `equals()`
Senior Software Engineer
I had a long conversation with the manager. Then, I had a two-day onsite interview, half of which was devoted to coding and half to culture fit. I didn't have to do the take-home assignment, but most candidates do now.
