Their interviews are super easy to be honest. The quality of your coworkers abilities will make sense should you be desperate enough to take this job.

Used to be really good, had good support for LGBTQ and POC's now Overly concerned about "who's going to look out for the white dude?" It's taken a huge hit in culture especially in the last 6 months and particularly since the current head of HR started.

Code quality is going downhill very fast. Hiring contractors in india is not going to solve this. Hiring barely competent paper pushers who don't understand engineering isn't going to help you. Being too cheap to staff your most important teams with quality candidates and overworking the talent you have until they end up in the hospital is not going to help you.

Get rid of bad actors. Start recruitment processes that encourage diversity and talent instead of emphasizing being papered. Focus on code and being decent human beings. I have serious doubts any of the exec management is capable of doing that.

I'm not sure you can stem the hemorrhaging you are experiencing. We lost both architects and don't have anyone to replace them, and many people who had domain knowledge are either no longer there or are leaving. Don't change people's end dates in order to avoid paying benefits. Stop protecting misogynistic and borderline racist coworkers over the voices of the ever fewer diverse employees you have. Stop hiring people for technical positions without any technical interviews. I could go on, but you get the point.

They say it's unlimited in order to avoid payouts when you leave but will restrict you to 15 days.

They used to but with new management they are focusing on in office entirely. I can no longer suggest them as a place to work for women, remote workers or for People of color outside south asians.
