Neutral ExperienceGot Offer
Process
The interview process was very standard.
- A 30-minute initial interview, just to get to know you.
- The second step was a project to implement and then send the code.
- After that, one online interview to go through the project and also answer many technical questions.
- The last step was a face-to-face interview that lasted 3.5 hours, discussing previous experiences, using a whiteboard, and covering technical and HR questions.
They made one offer that was below what I asked, reasoning that my interview was not so good. They wanted someone with more experience in the operational part, not only development.

Company Culture is changing
Senior Software Engineer • Former Employee
Pleasanton, California, United States
September 14, 2017
Pros: It's all good until 2017. Good benefits, good package.
Cons: Culture is slowly changing, as they are hiring more people from Cisco, which they bring the worst sort of culture with. Hiring people of less talent, just because they know them. Everyone has their own agenda to promote, rather than company growth.

Good culture and work-life balance. Mixed bag of technology
Senior Software Engineer • Current Employee
Pleasanton, California, United States
November 8, 2017
Pros: Management and coworkers are friendly and excel at their jobs. I have the freedom to work remotely when necessary, and I am given a good work-life balance.
Cons: Proprietary technology is a mixed bag. While I think it's a powerful programming language, I think it has hampered me in my learning. However, many people have made moves to other teams that do not use proprietary language, so there is room to move within the company.
