7 rounds over 3 months, with multiple rounds of technical interviews. The final round was pushed back a week, and then they messaged me saying they had already filled the spot, canceling the final round.

What you make out of it

Forward Deployed Software Engineer • Current Employee

New York, New York, United States

January 11, 2025

Pros: You can choose to be as technical or nontechnical, as intense or chill, as rigorous or speedy as you want it to be. With some political know-how, the entire landscape becomes yours to navigate, and you can simply pick and choose what skills you want to grow.

Cons: You can get put into some really, really, really bad teams, and in that case, your technical skills will atrophy beyond recognition.

3.0

Believed in the company, but not so much anymore because of its mistreatment of employees

September 13, 2023

Pros: Fast-paced, very smart coworkers, and overall, the opportunity to grow is quite amazing.

Cons: No 401k matching, no bonuses, and no compensation increase with promotions or title promotions. Long work hours. Life as a Forward Deployed Engineer can be technically unfulfilling. It took 2 years for a company-wide compensation review to happen, and only a fraction of the company got a raise then.
