Good salary, but even though you get a few thousand more, it is not worth it.

The interview process sucks. The reason I mention this is that they take a lot of pride in mentioning that if you are not a star performer, you may be shown the door. My point is that if you can make a good hiring process, then you should not be talking about it in an interview. HR is given unreasonable superpowers, and they try to act as if they're super smart for no reason.

They claim to give higher salaries as opposed to other Bay Area companies, but that amount is nothing if you really compare it with other companies. I think any company that relies too much on HR for scaring candidates and keeping them in the loop regarding candidate performance is not a good company for engineers, and that company is not the most coveted in the Bay Area.

People are hardworking, but they are certainly not the smartest. Some are smart, as in any other company, so I don't understand why they create so much hoopla.
