Snacks. Beer. Little to no supervision.
No guidance from the top or middle management. Complete and utter chaos on the direction of the company and, therefore, its projects.
Ready to spend six months working on something only for it to get canceled the day before launch? It happens to everybody. Here, it will happen constantly, leaving you feeling like you just wasted a year of your life.
Don't complain about it, because then you'll get fired for not being "perky" enough. It feels like a gross cult, with those who have not drunk the Kool-Aid skulking around like outcasts, meeting in secret to complain to each other.
Never saw anybody get promoted. The inner circle here is a tight-knit little club. Promotions are in title only and totally meaningless.
Insisting you have a great culture and that everybody has to focus on it is very different from actually having one. A great culture is organic. Yours is forced.
Decide what you are doing.
I chatted with HR and the CTO to determine if I was a good match and if they were what I was looking for. I then received a coding challenge that included using their API. The last stage was shadowing someone on site for a day.
There were three rounds of technical interviews, mainly on Java fundamentals, system design, and Spring Boot. They even touched on a few topics on Docker, Kubernetes, and CI/CD. There was one live coding round.
At first, there is a 3-minute introduction about yourself. Then, introduce the projects and the last internship you completed. Overall, it was a fair interview. There is still a technical interview afterwards.
