Good Benefits, Uneven Balance
Good Benefits, Uneven Balance
It really differs from team to team, but a lot of groups have an excellent work-life balance.
Also, the benefits are good. The gym is fantastic and free. There are free bagels on Wednesdays, free coffee and milk, and snacks.
Again, the experience differs from team to team. A lot of groups don't have a good work-life balance. On my first team, we had to show up to the office every day and stay until 6:00 or later. A lot of teams also don't care about code quality or follow good process. I've seen a fair amount of code that was extremely poorly written and a number of questionable design decisions. It just seems like most employees just come in for the paycheck. Very few people actually care about coding or computers.
Be more careful about who gets hired. I've never seen a company that has so many employees of such little skill and passion.

Recruiter screen, coding challenge. I felt like the interviewer was a bit uninterested and acted kind of cold. They rushed out of the call and didn't let me talk or ask questions. It was quite unprofessional, as I was ghosted as well.

I applied for the job post and received a call from a recruiter. They asked for a few details, such as my current CTC and expected CTC. Subsequently, I received a call scheduling my screening round with the hiring manager for the next morning around
