A poisonous place to work
A poisonous place to work
Good perks:
- High salary
- Free lunch every day
No autonomy - all decisions had to go through the owner who cared little for most people's opinions, and worse changed his decisions on a daily basis.
He would re-write people's code without saying anything - no mention that it was done let alone an explanation, even if what was written was exactly what had been agreed upon.
Siloed working arrangements - everyone worked on their own thing and there was no cross-pollination, discussion or sharing.
Depressing culture - the company didn't care about the people that worked there, and cared much more about impressing customers and the press.
Listen to your people, treat them with respect, and stand by your word.

It was a pretty straightforward interview process, and they took care of you. They were very communicative, which helped, and were really nice about adhering to school deadlines. Each step of the interview wasn't too difficult.

It's a long process, with 5 technical interviews (Java OOP, system design, algorithms, etc.) and 2 more meetings with the HR team. The follow-up is great, and the recruiter is always available to help with any questions about the interview process.
