Great pay, good people, ok engineering, terrible tools, brutal on-call, no work-life balance
Great pay, good people, ok engineering, terrible tools, brutal on-call, no work-life balance
Pay is good, stock is strong. People are chill. Very talented people, lots of great engineers. Very relaxed review process that actually rewards the hard workers without incentivizing backstabbing. No corporate dogma like Amazon. Remote friendly.
Terrible productivity tools, almost nonexistent. Instead of deployment automation, we have long and tedious documentation and red tape that makes it impossible to react quickly to issues. One-line code changes can sit for months before they can get deployed. No test environments, no pre-prod, no nothing. Consequently, everything breaks frequently and on-call is brutal pretty much across the whole OCI. Work-life balance is not a thing.
Take a pause and invest in CI/CD, test and prepro environments, developer productivity, operational excellence, etc. Two-thirds of you come from Amazon, so you know to do better than this.

I was working with a recruiter. I first had a phone screen, then a remote coding interview where my screen was shared while I did some simple coding in a REPL. Finally, I had a ~2 hour in-person interview.
