Nothing too hard in regards to DSA and system design. Low to medium for a mid-level position.

Compensation is a joke!
Engineer • Current Employee
Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
August 24, 2021
Pros: - Good WLB
- People are generally nice
Cons: - Constant re-org.
- A lot of turnover in recent months, and we lost some very talented folks as a result.
- A lot of middle management; they have no idea what they are doing.
- People get promoted just by the virtue of sticking around longer or when they reach their stock cliff, and not necessarily based on skills. It is pretty much an insult to those who earned their level.
- The compensation system is archaic; it doesn't reward people on merit but rather punishes them for being on a higher pay.
- If you're after a rewarding and fulfilling career, you might want to look elsewhere.
