Should be better
Software Engineering Intern • Former Employee
December 15, 2023
Pros: Solid comp
Competent employees
Cons: Some recruiters are a mess; others are really bad. I got no-showed and had to reschedule multiple times for interviews. Then they scheduled an interview for three weeks out for no discernible reason, delaying it. Recruiters are at least responsive, I guess, but the process is so long.
At the job, they work you like a dog, and the projects aren't as interesting as you'd think from their material. Coworkers were definitely in the same boat, but at least they were competent. Really solid engineers.
Apparently, a flat corporate structure makes promotions near impossible. Sounds like they want to crank value out of young engineers for 1-3 years until they realize they need to leave to advance their careers. A lot of employees are very junior.
