The London office is great. It has good food, coffee from a barista, and good snacks. The gym is okay, and the shower room is pretty awesome.
Incompetent leaders.
Irrational decisions from leaders. Getting rid of the whole department is a huge mistake, as they are a revenue-generating department.
No empathy towards employees.
Huge communication costs due to time zone issues, since most of the engineers are based in the US, and they don't care whether we are in London or not.
Leaders don't seem to care about growing engineers in London.
The product is shrinking.

Very smooth. Everybody I met was super awesome and agreeable (for the most part). I believe during my on-sites, I only engaged with one individual who turned out to be a bit difficult to connect with. They were much less colorful than the others and
I had a one-hour-long interview with an engineer. There were usual interview questions and a whiteboard exercise (online using HackerRank). I didn't finish the exercise in time, and I received an email with little feedback.
The interviewer was nice and kind. They asked me a couple of questions, and then we had a code interview. They asked me to write some code, asked a few questions based on the result, and then asked me to fix my bugs.
