There were two interviews, first one with hr and second with managers. The hr one was good, the second interview with managers was terrible. Incredibly unprofessional, no respect for people’s time, it was obvious they weren’t going to hire externally and already had someone internally for the position. After interviewing with the hr rep, I saw several negative reviews and was confused because the hr rep was great and I assumed she was a reflection of the company, and then I realized the rep started the interview with a sales pitch about how “great” the company is. From other employee reviews It seems there is change in management and the transition hasn’t gone well. I can only imagine how toxic this company is if they can’t even fix their recruiting process.

I interviewed with one of the API-focused teams for a 30-minute hiring manager round. The interview began with questions about my applications to other teams, which had already been discussed with HR, and the mention that candidates may be redirected to other teams felt discouraging before the technical discussion even started. During the discussion, the interviewer appeared dismissive and showed limited interest in understanding the context behind technical decisions (for example, quickly judging latency as “very high” without exploring system constraints). Overall, the interaction felt somewhat one-sided and not very candidate-friendly.
