Great culture, terrible process
Great culture, terrible process
Management cares about the people under them, and the company cares about the people it hires. Work/life balance is supported, and trust among peers is evident. Camaraderie, friendship, and company culture make the days go by easy.
The legacy codebase makes innovation difficult. Projects have more overhead than production. The organizational structure discourages teamwork. It is very rare to work on a project you are proud of.
Focusing on dollars is important for company stability, but focusing on innovation and perception of technical merit is important for long-term growth.

The interview process is very standard. It consists of one phone screen, and if it goes well, they bring you in for an on-site interview. The on-site portion comprises 5 rounds, including lunch with the hiring manager. **Phone Screen** I scheduled

There were 4 rounds of interviews, including various coding rounds and a behavioral round at the end. HackerRank and LeetCode questions were involved. It was pretty tough, so I spent about 4 hours in interviews.
