Process
The process was very quick and smooth. I had a total of 5 interview rounds.
Two of them were behavioral interviews, and the rest were coding interviews.
I received a coding test first, followed by a behavioral interview with a manager. Then, there was a virtual coding interview. After clearing that, I was called on-site for two more interviews.

- 5.0Great Staff, No Ny RolesSoftware Engineer • Former EmployeePleasanton, California, United StatesSeptember 21, 2023Pros: Welcoming environment, free snacks, amazing staff.Cons: No open positions for software engineers in the New York office.
- 1.0Not good anymoreSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeBrisbane, Queensland, AustraliaSeptember 14, 2025Pros: Good perks. Good workplace. Health care.Cons: Bad leadership. They hire more and more managers and micromanage people. Managers are quite pushy. They don't care about you; they care about their KPIs. It makes me feel I am a slave here. The company aims to turn around and highly invests in AI, but there are little outcomes from it. A couple of layoffs in the past two years make people feel uncertainty.
