Process

I had an onsite interview in early February. I received great feedback, except that I didn't finish my LeetCode question. They expected it to run without problems, and it was an auto-fail regardless of the quality of the code.

Questions

A LeetCode question that you must solve within a timeframe while someone just sits there and unhelpfully stares at you/Slack.

Pros: Interesting product. Nice coworkers. Good pay.

Cons: As the company and tech stack has grown, we spend more and more time on process issues (setup tasks, tooling, broken builds, trying to understand old undocumented code, secret knowledge) and less time just building new features. Leadership reneged on its commitment to allow remote work. This shows a lack of respect, a lack of empathy, and a lack of integrity.
