Great place to work, horrible hiring process
Amazing cars, challenging projects, and excellent mentors and co-workers.
The hiring process for converting from intern to full-time was terrible and had nothing to do with performance during the internship.
Work done during an internship should play the biggest role in converting new hires, not technical interviews.
Some people don't do well under the pressure of an interview (or multiple interviews over a single day).
