Reliability Engineer Interview Experience - New York, New York
Process
Screening call with a manager (not hiring manager), then a full day of onsite interview as the first and final round. Very slow communication - first screening call happened 2-3 weeks after application submission, then the onsite happened after 4-5 weeks of the screening call.
The screening call was focused on linux where the job description mentions, but the onsite was solely finance market questions, where the job description does not mention at all about financial knowledge as requirement. It seems like they are looking for someone who is already in a trading firm rather than just finance background. Study for SIE or s63 might help to get the job than Linux skills. You will need them anyways according to them.
Questions

- 5.0Amazing place to workLead Frontend Engineer • Former EmployeeNew York, New YorkFebruary 8, 2021Pros: You should focus a lot on developer growth, pay for attendance to conferences, and pay for all your food.Cons: Large workload, occasionally siloed environment
- 5.0Awesome place with awesome peopleSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeNew York, New YorkNovember 21, 2019Pros: Ignore the 1 star reviews. They are probably coming from the same disgruntled employee and do not reflect Tower accurately This is my honest review: - What were GREAT benefits are now VERY GOOD (took a small step down) but still probably better than you'll find elsewhere. - The company has transformed but the talented people working on cutting edge tech are still around - It is flexible. - The pay is really good.Cons: - Clearly some teams can be worse than others, and you won't know until you join. - Sometimes working across teams can be a bit difficult.
