Pros

Fascinating problem space, tons of room for growth both vertically and horizontally. Great engineers and hard problems to solve, and a little bit of everything when it comes to languages, clouds, and tooling. Culture is exactly what I've been looking for, and I love the constant feedback from the top, making sure we work on the right things in the right order.

Cons

This culture isn't for everyone. It is direct and matter of fact without subliminal or implied messaging. Lots of ambiguity and rapid pace, almost as if we are a series of mini start-ups in a larger scale up. If you aren't used to constant feedback and adjustments, you will get crushed. Not a place to hide and collect a paycheck, low tolerance for blame, high indexing on ownership and rapid iteration.

Pros

Got paid for interview and onboarding

Cons

I went through what felt like a “ghost job” type of process. I was given a two-day technical assessment that required very little sleep and included pulling an all-nighter. The assignment was highly realistic and closely resembled production-level work in both scope and expectations. A significant amount of time and effort was required before even having a clearly established or confirmed role. This also included a CCAT assessment as part of the screening process, along with employment verification, ~45 pages of documents, and several hours of video content. After that, I was asked to record two 5–10 minute videos based on those materials, with very minimal prompts and no clear grading criteria or expectations. I was then told I scored just slightly below “acceptable” and was terminated immediately. The entire process felt disorganized from start to finish. The technical assessment was missing key pieces, almost as if it was incomplete or still being tested. During onboarding, I was already being added to meetings and even assigned a task, despite not having fully completed the onboarding process. Part of the reasoning given for my termination was that I wasn’t proactive in pointing out that I had been added to meetings and should have been focusing on onboarding instead. This was especially confusing, as those meetings and tasks were initiated by the team themselves. Given the amount of upfront work required and how the process was structured, this raised serious concerns for me about whether the role was clearly defined or fully established, and whether the expectations for candidates were aligned with an actual longterm position. Advice to others: Be cautious about the time commitment required before the role is fully secured. The process may require substantial effort upfront without clear expectations or evaluation criteria.
