It was a grueling technical interview, followed by a battery of what I think were psychological questions. Then came some logic questions, followed by team-building activities. Next was a tech test.

Pros: Great work-life balance, maybe partially thanks to my manager.

4.0
Great Pay, Bonuses, and Culture
Software Developer • Former Employee
Boulder, Colorado, United States
November 8, 2023
Pros: Great benefits, from RSUs to ESPP to family planning, etc., etc.
They will reimburse up to $500 a quarter for nearly anything (I used it on vet bills).
Get a quarterly "Global Rest Day" off, and a lot of holiday time in the winter.
Fully remote (if that's a plus for you).
Direct management genuinely cares about career growth and treating employees fairly.
Cons: C-level and upper management seem out of touch at times. I've had several incidents, like cutting bonuses after a positive investor call, where they seemed blindsided by the blowback. Large amounts of turnover on all levels make it difficult to make connections and care about people outside my immediate team.
