Micro-management and no transparency (might be only in my team)
Micro-management and no transparency (might be only in my team)
Friendly colleagues, decent office, free lunch
- During my probation period, the 2-level-up manager kept influencing product definition, system design, timeline estimation, and code implementation. An astonishing phrase from him: "I can do it within 2 hours".
- We had 4 backend engineers and 3 front-end engineers working on the same project. We were delayed for one month (the manager defined the deadline). Even though the 2-level-up manager said it was no one's fault, I got punished in the end without any conversation.
- Stop micro-management, leave engineers to do their job
- Be more transparent, if you think something about your team, discuss it with your team

Squarepoint Capital Interview Experiences
Software Engineer
The interview process involved a coding challenge and simple multiple choice computing questions on HackerRank. The process took around 35 minutes to complete, with roughly 15 minutes spent on coding challenges.
Software Engineer
Two technical interviews followed by a take home test, they did not proceed further. Overall seemed friendly, although did not get feedback on the take home, which was pretty lengthy and required most of my weekend.
Software Engineer
The interview process was quite lengthy but I think fair. There were multiple technical and behavioural interviews and a final chat with a senior manager after which I was given an offer.
