Process
I participated in a non-technical interview over the phone. The interview asked typical questions.
Unfortunately, the interviewer did not respond to my thank you email or my follow-up email. I was ghosted for over a month.

Company cares more about DEI than actual quality
Senior Software Engineer • Former Employee
September 26, 2024
Pros: If you don’t care, most employees and managers don’t care either. Since the merger, rest and vest is a way of life.
Cons: If you are actually a qualified employee who values work ethic, steer clear. They promote DEI above everything else. If your colleague is part of that collect them all set, then their career is set even if their abilities are two levels below where their title says they should be.
Females made up 25% of the engineering force, but 50% of promotions one year. If you were not DEI, they didn’t even consider you.
Basically, if you are looking to work with the best and brightest people you ever will in your career… steer clear, and you will be sadly disappointed.
