Great experience, mediocre system, and poor development environment
Great experience, mediocre system, and poor development environment
Great company, which is doing extremely well in the marketplace.
In some groups, the code you touch affects the livelihood of millions of people.
A great place to learn about payments and payments processing.
Some really top-notch engineers.
More than a few mediocre engineers just coasting. The codebase is kind of a mess, although many efforts are being made to fix things. The development environment, building and testing, was a real mess when I was there, although I hear that things have gotten a bit better.
Prioritize improving the development environment, reducing needless processes, and shortening the list of objectives and priorities.

I interviewed in 2021 for a SWE intern role. For my first round interview, I was given a LeetCode easy/medium problem. For my second round, I was given a LeetCode medium problem. The process was pretty straightforward and fair.

Sent me a C/C++ test by email. It was supposed to take no more than one hour. I was asked not to use an editor, the internet, or another compiler. I was to use only the online environment without the C standard libraries.
Software Engineer
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.
