          Pros

          the work life balance is great and my team works really hard to protect that.

          Cons

          this is a deeply technical company run by a c-suite that has zero product vision. we haven't built a substantially new product in years with our only new releases being through acquisitions or white-labeling other company's products. for example: before recently acquiring Paperspace for its GPU compute platform, we had multiple aborted attempts to build our own GPU product that were always abandoned as soon as the current crypto or Al hype cycle waned. and now that we have Paperspace, that's being run by our M&A division instead of product or engineering and there's no plan from leadership on how to integrate their wildly-incompatible tech stack. the c-suite is a bunch of clowns LARPing as successful tech execs as they drive this company into the ground. at least the board is finally starting to fire them though.

        I did my initial interview with a “better established” startup and they said the interview process is 5 interviews. 3 technical then 1 interview with the CEO then another technical interview. Idk about you but that seems like a lot of interviews and they said they want to do it as fast as possible in a short time span. Is this a normal amount of interviews? Is this a red flag? For a full stack software position 4-5 years exp how much salary should be the norm in a hcol area?

        Is it unprofessional to attend a Zoom interview from within your car? I am currently employed and just landed an interview for tomorrow. It is a virtual interview over Zoom. Should I try to find somewhere besides my car for the interview? I don't know that I could but wanted to get yalls thoughts on this.

        Has talent acquisition ever called you after a final interview to inform you that you DIDN’T receive the position?
