Super good work life balance and flexibility. Great comp, or at least before stock plummeted.
Leadership doesn’t know what they’re doing. No investment in really anything. Big bet is really poorly built and kind of embarrassing. Not a sexy company or product anymore, but for some reason, leadership still expects you to sell it without any compelling reason for a customer to buy.

I’m having a tough time deciding whether to buy dropbox stock. On the one hand, looking at box, that stock has definitely surged from when it originally went IPO a few years ago, but it also crashed precipitously before it’s rise. Will dropbox face the same fate? On the other hand dropbox is profita...Read more
I used dropbox in the past and it was extremely intuitive and just worked.. like an apple product. I would click on the dropbox icon at the top of the toolbar and I remember it being very intuitive. One single click and it opens up that dropbox folder on my local and I can do whatever I want. Now w...Read more

Hi Blind Community, I am preparing for interviews in the future and am stressing more on the System Design part. Generally, I get blanked up during interviews if I am not able to figure out anything, and it's affecting the rest of the interview. For those scenarios, I wrote a general structure(after...Read more
--FAANG tier-- Facebook: Too political, disorganized, elitist Amazon: 'nuff said. Harsh culture of algorithmic stack ranking, long hours, low pay. Apple: Secrecy breeds siloed culture, top-down tyrannical, cheap about pay. Netflix: ? Don't they do stack-ranking but it's not as bad as in Amazon o...Read more
Hello seasoned Referral-Peoples and fellow Blind Society (braille / text to voice when?), I posted once a week ago but my time has come to drive this forward.

Leetcode gets a lot hate but it seems System Design interviews are just as ridiculous sometimes. 1) you need to magically come up with the features and then negotiate with an interviewer what their interpretation of scale is. Gathering requirements is a real skill, but schmoozing your way to get an...Read more

Article: I If there were ever a time when Lyft had a chance to catch up with Uber, it was last year. A constant barrage of negative publicity, including a #deleteUber social media movement, offered Lyft a gift in terms of picking up business.
