Process
I know Spark well. There were annoying questions around Spark trivia.
I thought it went very well but didn't make it through, and I received no solid feedback.
It seemed like they wanted me to know AWS systems, which I had already communicated I didn't. The interview was Spark-focused, making the experience very confusing.

Pros: - Light workload

- Management is very opaque.
- Performance evaluation is awful; any minor mistake is held against you.
- Almost complete salary freeze over the last year.
- A lot of busywork; entire teams just duplicating existing code/features.
