Highnote's hiring process and was impressive because of their respectfulness and efficiency. From start to finish, communication was clear and courteous, making me feel valued throughout. Timely feedback and well-organized steps that kept everything on track and left a positive impression of the company’s culture and values before making a decision on an offer. Highnote sets a high standard for a positive and professional hiring experience. I have a great outlook for my role, the product, and the company within my first 60 days. Highnote also has one of the best/most sensible hybrid working policies I have ever come across being at major tech players and startups within the Bay Area.
Cult-like work environment where the norm is to work overtime, all the time. Most code is not unit tested. Code is in a monorepo, and not in a good way -- if anyone breaks the build, the entire release is stopped for hours, it's really annoying. I see a lot of code is just copied-and-pasted around; code quality is really low. Not fun to work here, bad culture.
