A mediocre engineering team built with lower-tier college talents
Flexible working hours and environment.
Management tries to make people feel good.
Good benefits.
The engineering team are mostly from lower-tier state universities, are over-hyped, and overestimate themselves. Engineers are way over their heads and think too highly of themselves. Exaggerated tasks and minor features take a ridiculous amount of time to deliver, and are mostly in poor quality. They spend too much time praising themselves for jobs well done, without an idea of how other highly successful companies do their software.
Too many (inexperienced) managers keep promoting the wrong people.

Four thorough interviews balanced testing my technical skill and gauging my fit for a specific team they were looking to hire for. I was interviewed by members of that team after the initial phone screening, which was a positive in my experience.
