Professional, but not supportive
Professional, but not supportive
Compensated well, working with very talented people and well-designed systems. Nice office, lots of perks.
It wasn't a very supportive environment. It didn't really need to be, since they compensate so well. Autonomy was highly expected; positive feedback was optional. I worked an average of 49 hours a week.
Include positive feedback and paths toward success, not just unhelpful criticism.

Software Engineer
After a lengthy technical interview, I never heard back from them, even though the interviewer seemed pleased with my answers.
Software Engineer
2 coding questions in 2 hours, only had time to finish one. Many edge cases, so debugging takes most of the time. Recommend settling down on an attack plan fast and commit. 20 short answers about OS, network and TCP/UDP, algorithms and data struct
Software Engineer
Sent resume, then heard back soon after with a HackerRank coding test. The first question was easy, the second question was medium, and the third question was hard and took a long time. Definitely study trees and recursion. You have 24 hours to com
