Process
The interview consisted of three rounds. The first round featured an interviewer who consistently sounded condescending and kept making me, the interviewee, feel horrible about questions I couldn't answer. This behavior is not and should not be expected from an interviewer representing a company as renowned as this.

- 1.0Horrible place to work. Little to no WLB. People will backstab youSoftware Engineer • Former EmployeeJune 15, 2022Pros: - Fortune 500 company - Somewhat decent payCons: - No mentorship or growth opportunities. - Colleagues will backstab you by complaining to your manager instead of coming to you with their feedback. Helping someone means that because you are helping them, the business is impacted, which is unacceptable. - Collaboration is frowned upon. If you ask for help that's too much, then it's held against you if you aren't a favorite on the team. - Work-life balance isn't taken seriously. "Unlimited PTO" is an illusion for most people, while other people are given the luxury to take weeks off every other week while others are not.
