What to watch for

Hit or miss

Overall, Pay is market, nothing to write home about. Solid for a first job, less so if you're senior. RTO mandate came out of nowhere and morale tanked overnight.

Pros

good 401k match, fully remote, no RTO games

Cons

communication gaps across teams

Interview experience: Neutral
