Neutral ExperienceNo Offer
Process
I spoke to the team at a career fair and was then invited for a technical phone screen.
The questions weren't too bad, but I still felt it was strange having the same questions as a front-end developer when applying for a firmware position.
Questions
As others have said, you make a class for a truck and a pallet, as well as some load and unload functions.

Awesome place to work
Senior Firmware Engineer II • Current Employee
March 11, 2025
Pros: People. I am lucky to work with smart and friendly people.
Interesting projects, management cares about devs. *Maybe it depends on the team*.
Cons: A bit windy on the high level... if you understand what I mean.

Great Culture, Still Growing
Software Engineer • Current Employee

Pros: Great people and still a growing company with interesting engineering challenges.
Cons: Growing pains, but nothing that seems out of the ordinary for a newer, large enterprise company.
1.0
Constant Turnover, Zero Progress
Software Engineer • Current Employee
January 24, 2021
Pros: None at all, nada nothing.
Cons: Over the course of a year, I've been through 3 different PMs and 4 different designers, all of whom have left the company either voluntarily or from layoffs.
There is immense product turnover that results in doing the same stuff over and over again.
Engineering also has high turnover, as 4 of them have left and only one member of the original team is left.
And yet, execs have "explained" this all away as attrition that is not regrettable.
Now we are scrambling to hire more and trying to retain what's left based on a "Comp 2.0" that's been pushed back and has no concrete details.
