Process
The process started with a HackerRank test.
I cannot disclose the questions asked in the test, but the task was to build a program that solved riddle-like questions. If you passed the test, you moved on to an interview where you spoke with a developer.

It's a Narrative and PIP Factory Now
Software Engineer • Current Employee
Los Angeles, California, United States
May 25, 2025
Pros: You can still work fully remote.
Cons: PIP abused. The manager uses "alignment" to cheat employees in order to quickly terminate by PIP.
If you think merit will get you promoted, this place is not for you. Promotions here are reserved for those who perform loyalty, fabricate optics, and obey authority. If you write code, you're a tool. If you write the script, you're leadership.
External branding: freedom, player-first, engineering-led.
Internal reality: factions, performance art, political maneuvering.
You think you’re building systems — but really, you’re just constructing someone else’s promotion stage.
Engineers, Avoid Unless You Want to Learn How to Get Your Credit Stolen.
Everyone Says 'Player First' but No One Really Means It.
Heaven for Performers, Hell for Engineers.
