Was good, but getting worse
The job pays well, and you work with very smart ICs. The tech stack is modern and reasonably not spaghetti code.
Company wants people to move faster and have shorter timelines for projects, without giving more resources or support.
Newly implemented 15% “mostly meets expectations (mme)” requirement, and if you get 3 in a row, you’re fired. This sounds quite like stack ranking and PIP.
Almost no way to give feedback about your manager; it's a very top-down culture.
Four holidays were cut unannounced this year, and the new CEO was writing snide comments on Slack about how we had too many holidays and needed to work harder. Heard second-hand stories of good engineers being managed out due to disagreement with managers.
God, I don’t know. Management seems to be the problem, with all the new politicking and useless performance metrics, and not giving avenues for ICs to express opinions without fear of retaliation. Asking them to fire themselves would hardly count as advice, would it?

The interview experience was positive. I completed two rounds: coding and expertise. Despite reaching out multiple times for feedback, I did not hear back from the recruiter. The interviewer himself indicated that I performed well.

Initial online assessment. I don't recall if it was a coding assessment or one of those brain teaser assessments with shapes and other nonsense. Good luck.

The process began with a 90-minute OA that included two algorithmic questions and a couple of SQL-based logic puzzles. The next round was a technical phone interview where I coded live and was asked to reason through edge cases and trade-offs. I mov
