Process
Initial screen with a recruiter, followed by a live code/technical interview with the hiring manager.
I solved the code challenge in about 15 minutes. The manager then wanted to discuss how to make it more performant/scalable. We agreed on a different approach (I did not code that), and he said they would be in touch. I never heard back.

Software Engineer • Current Employee
Boston, Massachusetts, United States
February 13, 2024
Pros: - Flexibility to work remotely!

Cons: - Low compensation when compared to other companies of this caliber.
- Leadership has destroyed company culture by putting profits above all else.
- Compensation and benefits keep getting cut.
- Incredibly high expectations (I enjoy this since it keeps things interesting, but it can be draining at times).
- Promotion opportunities are hard to come by.
- Unlimited time off means 4-5 weeks. This is not bad, but a bit dishonest.
