A wonderful place for a generalist
A wonderful place for a generalist
- Working with a very small team leads to opportunities to diversify.
- The small team is extremely talented.
- The team does not nickel & dime you on paid soda.
- Engineering turnover seemed rather high (probably due to the location).
- A nice model of leadership divorces your task-giver from your career-manager.
Many senior co-workers are inaccessible.
Coders need to be generalists; the low headcount does not allow for specialization (with a few exceptions).
The small engineering headcount has led to a culture where you are responsible for a section of code versus more of a guardian (like in the Bungie model). This can feel like a ball and chain.
Visibility on the project direction was very limited for such a small team.
Crunch is real.
Keep focused on recruiting and retaining top talent. Increase project visibility for peons.

Jr Embedded SW Engineer
At first, he explained about the role, then let me tell about myself and present a project in CPP. Then we moved on to professional questions. A relatively simple first question, and then he added some more difficult questions to it.
Deep Learning Intern
The major focus was on my project, and they asked about the entire procedure for the project, along with all technical details. They also asked about basic theory. They inquired about challenges faced and the solutions we worked on.

From start to end, the process was very smooth. I liked it thoroughly. The interview questions' level is average; one can easily track if well-prepared. My experience there is good.
