Mission: Marketers inevitably run into what we like to call, “The Marketer’s Block.” This occurs when ad performance drops and strategies and targeting which once worked no longer do. This decay in performance or inability to scale are unavoidable realities ... Read more
I have been working at CitizenNet full-time (Less than a year)
Pros
Flexibility in work schedule, ability to work from home regularly (I do this every Wednesday). I feel respected by everyone at the company. Great benefits and salary. The CEO is approachable. The office is beautiful with a great view being on the twelfth floor of an office building. The environment is comfortable and relies on self-motivation and team accountability rather than any sort of strict hierarchy to ensure quality of work and productivity.
Cons
100% my commute.
Could use more diversity in the product development/engineering teams (I'm currently one of 2 women of color and 3 total women--though I do have to say that I even forget that at times, because I haven't been made to feel any less respected or trusted or included, and I have previously felt that sort of discomfort).
Application
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at CitizenNet (Los Angeles, CA) in October 2019.
Interview
There was a timed, online skills evaluation that was fairly challenging. Then a short, informal phone "screen" which I put in quotes because it was not with an HR person but another engineer, which was nice. During the phone call, we scheduled a 3 hour on-site interview, which seemed intimidating at first. However, when I got there the mood was generally easy-going. I met with the CEO first, then had 2 or 3 separate group interviews. There was some live coding during the interview with the team that the position was for. It felt almost a little more like pair programming (of course with less input from them than the usual pair programming) because it was conversational rather than them giving me a task and just watching and judging me in silence. The people were great, which is why I did take the offer.
