Not worth it
Not worth it
It is really hard to see any with how things are.
Technical decisions are made by non-technical people, who don't consult any of the engineers implementing the solutions.
I have personally been blamed for outcomes I couldn't control due to decisions I didn't make.
Everything is so red-taped that making the most simple code change needs going through too many loops.
In order to make impact, it's a hard requirement to know how to speak and sell yourself extremely well. Technical skills are irrelevant. This also applies when raises and bonuses are given.
I have already given feedback lots of times.
You haven't listened, but that's your choice.

This felt like an interrogation Most of the folks I talked to were fine, and the director I spoke to during the screen was incredibly sweet and collaborative. But there was a senior developer who gave me one of the worst interview experiences I've

It was a multi-round interview format - which included technical and non-technical questions. I met with people from different teams and leadership levels. They corresponded in a timely manner in between rounds and were flexible with scheduling.

Typical HR screener, then technical interview. I solved everything the interviewer asked for but maybe they had too many qualified candidates so I got the rejection the next day. Overall a waste of time.
