New Tech, Old Pains
New Tech, Old Pains
Microservices architecture. The team's responsibility is pretty clear.
Many new things as an SDE to play with: React, Next.js, GraphQL, Cypress, etc.
For me, there won't be a lot of work to do as an intern; the job is pretty chill.
Generous equipment and perks. Keyboard, mouse, etc., could be kept after the internship.
Old frameworks, with a pretty bad developer experience (check kraken.js).
Old versions of Jira/Confluence make searching docs extremely painful.
Microservice architecture brings a lot of complexity to the system. Often, it takes time to ping many people to get some simple job done.
Lots of crappy in-house tools that are buggy all the time.

The process was smooth and the recruiter communicated well. It was about 5 interviews in total, including design, cultural fit, and coding. There seem to be last-minute changes to their recruitment guidelines with respect to location/level.

OA -> Recruiter Screen -> 2 technical interviews (45 min each). The recruiter screen asked basic behavioral questions. The technical interviews included a couple of resume questions and one LeetCode problem. The LeetCode questions were easy to mediu

There were two technical rounds. Each round involved about 1-2 medium LeetCode questions in Java, relevant to my job position. The questions focused on stacks/arrays and Object-Oriented Programming. It wasn't too hard if you're focused.
