November 1, 2023
Positive ExperienceGot Offer
Process
There was an OA, followed by a recruiter screening. Then, a technical round over Zoom, followed by two onsite interviews back-to-back in person. Finally, one more technical and a final HR round.
Questions
In general, I would say LeetCode mediums on arrays, and on the onsite, mostly questions about what-ifs or system design on cloud components.

Pros: - Above average base salary (for me, anyways).
- RSU quantity is not bad (although stock has been stagnant).
- Free food? (but then again, this is standard nowadays).
- Some cool stuff to work on (new 100% cloud products).
Cons: - Zero diversity (in engineering at least).
- Old-fashioned top-down approach (directors and VPs still heavily involved in technical decisions).
- Leadership is overly protective of things they had personally built in the past.
- Micromanagement from senior leadership on mundane day-to-day work.
- Mostly uninteresting product. 90% on-premise software using outdated technologies.
- Old-fashioned 6-month release cycle / waterfall model.
- 2000-member engineering org is bloated.
