Process

I had an initial screening before moving on to the first rounds of interviews.
I completed two phone interviews.
During the interviews, I was asked to string parse.

A great company to grow and learn
Forward Deployed Software Engineer • Current Employee
New York, New York, United States
November 3, 2020
Pros: People are very smart.
There is room to grow. It's not uncommon to see people who have been in the company for 1-2 years becoming Leads.
Huge responsibilities from day 1.
"Choose your own adventure" -> You can create your own growth path in the company if you see the need for it. For example, if you work on X product/customer but you see that there is a need to develop another product, you can start working on that without an issue (as long as you don't jeopardize your other role).
D&I is big here. You can get as involved as you want with this, and that's awesome!
Overall, this is an amazing company. I love it.
Cons: Too much autonomy at times. This is also a pro, but being independent and figuring out things on your own is not for everyone.

Great place with great perks and cool people, just not the right fit for me

Pros: Good and challenging work. As a new hire, you get to make changes to the core elements.
Perks are good, especially the housing subsidy.
Smart and intelligent co-workers.
Cons: Very poor and bad management. Inexperienced managers are given too much control; they are not at all good at communicating and have a poor judgment of employee skills. The flat hierarchy is a hoax.
Extreme work culture and poor work/life balance.
