Process
It was a strange experience. The Engineering Manager was clearly not paying attention and, I'm guessing, using an AI listener to come up with follow-up questions. There were very standard situational questions, but then the manager would pause for about 30 seconds and ask a follow-up that was not related to my answer. I pulled out after that stage. For me, it's not a great indication of an engineering culture, but I do very much like the company.

- 4.0decent company with WLB, but has its downsideSenior Software Engineer • Former EmployeeToronto, ONJuly 12, 2024Pros: - WLB - flexible remote work - Products are exciting - Company is doing wellCons: - There is low pay. You WILL be lowballed in internal promo/raise unless you're joining as senior externally. Chances are, new hires are making $20~40k more than someone 1 level up who got promoted internally. - There are some senior managers that just talked their way up but are incompetent and exploit ICs' work for their own benefit.
