(1) Informal "Get to know you" recruiting interview (1) Technical onsite in SF office broken up into two sub-interviews (1) Technical onsite in Chicago office broken up into three sub-interviews My interviews over the phone and in person at the SF office went very well. I enjoyed my time speaking with the various teams that I would be supporting and I was also given a glimpse into various technical projects that I could be a part of. I found my HR contact to be extremely kind and communicative. The team even had a strong work/life balance culture that included rounds of Super Smash Bros during lunch time. Unfortunately, My experience in the Chicago office was very different. My initial meetings with IT in Chicago seemed to go rather well. The interviewers were not the most people oriented engineers I had ever come across, but one can always expect some degree of this in an IT orginization. However, things started to get a little bit worse from a culture perspective; In addition to several snide comments about their parent company Paypal, the support engineers at Braintree also seemed to house a certain disdain for the people they supported. They often indicated this through sarcastic commentary around best technical practices. This was a large red flag. By the time my last interview came around I found myself completely sure that I would not be accepting an offer from this team. During a simple networking question, I accidentally miss spoke about the contents of a DHCP lease- this apparently was absolutely hilarious to one of the support engineers and he found it appropriate to laugh loudly in my face. The other engineer with him did not seem to find this odd, and was also grinning ear to ear... I'm the kind of person that very much enjoys the comradery of a team that wants to learn and grow together. You will not find that at this company. Cheers
