There are smart people to work with, who are eager to share their knowledge.
A culture of open communication.
Meritocracy - the best and brightest do get recognized.
The long-term vision has an inspiring purpose.
You are routinely challenged to do things nobody has done before.
Organizational structure is hard to decipher sometimes. The daily challenges make it hard to see the big picture. The annual review system is ineffective.
Separate reviews into two parts:
The interviewer asked highly academic questions, drawing from small details in old college textbooks that were not relevant to the job. The interviewer's attitude was somewhat disrespectful and condescending. This was, overall, a negative experience.
This process is for a summer internship position and includes the following steps: an HR interview, a first-round interview, a take-home exam, and a second-round interview. Overall great interview experience.
The first interview was a set of programming questions. The in-person follow-up was 3-4 hours long and involved a team of people. I presented a PowerPoint of past projects and experience and was asked several technical questions in response.
