        Pros

        Work from home. Great pay. Great work/life balance. The people I work with are awesome; they're smart, talented, and kind. Great benefits... Exempt employees get unlimited PTO, 10 sick days, 5 volunteer days, and about 27 designated holiday/recharge days per year. Cadence contributes to HSA for you each year. Medical packages are low cost with great benefits.

        Hmm, my initial reaction is go for the SE and by the time they might have gotten a full-time opportunity at Cadence (the timeframe would be important with the internship) they may have been able to move somewhere else for more anyway.

      hey guys, i’m an early career professional and I recently interviewed for an entry level role in procurement. is it a red flag if it was hinted / mentioned a few times during the interviews that the role will be stressful? 🥲 I haven’t done much interviewing as I’m pretty fresh in my career so for them to explicitly mention it will be stressful was a first

      How long does it take to get the actual offer letter from Goldman Sachs after a call with HCM? It's been a week and still no updates. The VP from HCM I talked to heavily emphasized that the call was not a guarantee of offer, but that the team really liked me and would like to extend an offer. She also said that she needed time to get approvals from higher ups before she can send the actual letter. Is this usually how it goes with Goldman?

      I recently interviewed for a role that I was very excited about. The interview with the hiring manager was going so well and then he said, “we’re a family here.” It’s a really large company and I have a friend who is on this team and she has said so many amazing things about the company and the job itself. What do y’all think about this? I know it’s often seen as a red flag but all other flags are green. If it helps any, he is not from the US but it is a US based company.
