Process
The interview was on Karat. After a brief self-introduction with Karat's engineer, the live coding part began. There were three progressive questions, and time was tight. I solved all three but was still rejected.

Most advanced data analytics is marketing BS
Software Engineer • Former Employee

Pros: You get to work with smart people, office perks, meaningful work improving social welfare, and stopping bad guys.
Cons: There is a lack of diversity and inclusion. Working to help people is more for the brand image, to counter the stigma of working with the DoD. I've seen people caught up in bad situations who did nothing wrong get let go, no questions asked.

- Fair share of egotistical people; this could be common with top talent in tech.
