Great Pay and People, But Security/PE Constraints Limit Velocity
Great Pay and People, But Security/PE Constraints Limit Velocity
- Very competitive comp
- 90% of colleagues are fantastic, lots of people with long tenures
- Financials are great
- Can work on interesting projects, depending on what team you end up in
- Private equity run, so will keep costs down
- The security department have too much control and it slows down development
- Decent amount of legacy code in prod
- Over use of contractors
There is a disconnect between wanting fast development but then allowing security to slow everything down.
Either ramp up security department velocity or relax security constraints.

Onsite screening interview and then panel interview. I felt some interviewers were hostile. The interviewer walked out to let me struggle by myself on the whiteboard. Then came back and said I was stuck. So gave me a keyboard permutation problem
