Writing code together over zoom
The interviewers were very chill and asked me to do reasonable (non-algorithm) things
The leaders are all extremely chill and foster a "we're in this together" kind of sentiment. They've been in the video space for over 10 years, and use thought leadership and technical excellence as the brand.
My manager somehow magically knows what's going on and helps me stay on track. My tech lead seems to know everything while being incredibly kind and humble. Everyone on my team knows their shit. It's very cool!
Mux works hard to go above and beyond in valuing employees. Throughout the pandemic they've expensed three $15 lunches per week per employee, and provide many other generous niche perks (like $200 for headphones, and more for books and conferences). Makes me feel special!
Thoughtfulness. We hurry projects forward but not people. We have processes that everyone uses to think through tradeoffs. We write things down as much as reasonably possible. SREs watch for struggling newbies on other teams and spend time handholding. Work conversations avoid personal drama.
