Smart Engineers, Weak Management
Smart Engineers, Weak Management
The engineers I got to work with were smart, despite most of them being hired straight out of university. It was a great opportunity to learn from quality (though arguably inexperienced) engineers.
My mentor and team lead were quite ineffective at communication and giving feedback. My experience would have been much better if I had gotten more feedback more often.
Make sure the leads and mentors are good communicators.

I had a few interviews with various engineers, followed by a call with the hiring manager and then the recruiter to negotiate compensation. I cannot describe the questions as I signed an NDA. The entire process was remote, conducted over Teams.
