Neutral ExperienceNo Offer
Process
2nd round online. The interviewer seemed a little set on a few questions and didn't progress well beyond that.
The interviewer was a little disengaged, and it came across. They seemed to be looking for someone of a particular type – perhaps younger and more pliable.

Amazing culture and work-life balance
Software Engineering Manager • Current Employee
March 29, 2024
Pros: The culture is why you join and why you stay. Success here can only be achieved as a group, so you better play well with others. Employees are truly fostered, and the work-life balance is amazing.
Cons: Engineers who want to grow to Staff level and beyond will hit a ceiling. Expectations for those roles aren't unilateral across the company, and opportunities are scarce.
4.0
Work-life balance and generally kind colleagues. On the flip side, the tempo is slow

Cons: Decisions (engineering ones) are very conservative.
Product has lots of control over engineering.
Not particularly exhilarating.
