Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

Extremely unprofessional. No HR, no communications, no response to questions. Sends interview invites without asking candidate's availability. Ghosted after the final interview. Worst interview experience I have ever had; I could not believe how awful this interview process is.

Toxic work environment

Software Engineer • Current Employee

Pros: None. I can’t think of any tbh

Cons: Toxic management team. They yell at you anywhere, and take away your lunch time, night time, and weekends to work. If you don’t, you are underperforming.

Pros: RSUs as a part of pay, and solid insurance options.

Cons: Many folks are toxic there. Work life balance is often thrown out with no extra compensation or recognition from management. * 0% match on 401k * 2 weeks vacation accrued over a full year with no increase in vacation hours earned with tenure.
