Remote Senior Backend Engineer Interview Experience - Bengaluru, India
Process
I applied through a recruiter and was invited for a code review round.
To start off, the interviewers just looked like they were not interested. They asked for an intro just for the sake of an intro and didn't even explain my question about their company properly. For forty minutes I got to write my comments on the Google Docs that they shared. And they were completely silent. We only had around three minutes for discussing. And their question was why I didn't think about concurrency and gradual interview end. There was no discussion. Am I a fool or what? So even if they didn't reject me, my decision was clear that I don't want to work with these delusional minds because of their wrong attitude.
Even the HR is delusional, and asked me how many times I do a code review. Their response wasn't interesting as I was only doing peer code reviews every sprint and told me there is no point if I can't clear their coding round, it will be wasting their time. I should have known by then. Folks, go home and do something else. Clearly you aren't fit for the role. There was no smile on the face or voice of any of those people.

Tide Work Experiences
- 2.0Lack of empathy, top down managementSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeLondon, EnglandApril 22, 2021Pros: There are still some good engineers and product people who work there, but it feels like everyone has one foot in the door.Cons: Culture has degraded over the last year and a half. Lockdown didn't help but management doesn't see this as useful. There is major lack of empathy at the company. Top management says very unreasonable things too often. There is no clear sense of Why. And because of that the how is broken. There are a lot of "LEADERS" who are not leading. Most of companies departments are siloed and not willing to work together as a OneTeam. Agile processes are broken and feedback doesn't seem to get back to top management who keep changing it without good reasons. Too many good people are leaving which further degrades culture. There is a lack of checks and balances for who does what. Many people are just coasting while others are working their backs off to make a great product. There is hyper-growth without reasonable efficiency in place so things get bigger and slower.
