Process
The process was straightforward, involving an OA, a first round, a 3-hour onsite, and a manager call afterward. Each interviewer was pleasant to talk to, and I enjoyed the overall interview experience.
Questions
One LeetCode-style question, one HTTP request question, and debugging a system with failed tests.

Easy Work, Toxic Culture
Software Engineer • Current Employee
April 19, 2024
Pros: * Work isn't really hard.
* Decent comp and benefits.
Cons: * Total lack of direction.
* Not uncommon for people to wonder and regret why they joined within six months.
* Encourages people that are more "visible." So be ready to be backstabbed by your team since everyone is afraid to be fired.
* Toxic positivity.
* Tech debt up the wazoo. Even simple things become near impossible.
