The recruiter reached out to me, and I decided to give them a try, although I usually don't like interviewing with big-name companies. I had one phone interview, and it went well. I was invited to the onsite.

The onsite experience was pretty bad. It started with them telling me I needed to go to their 999 Brannan building but then changed it to 888 Brannan without notifying me. So I headed to 999 and was asked to go to 888.

They boast a culture of "Belonging," but what I felt is they treat you like a commodity. This is further exemplified by the way they schedule interviews.

My onsite consisted of two coding interviews, one architecture, and one experience interview. Each lasted only 45 minutes. The coding problems were not super hard, and I was able to come up with a solution. But because they only allowed a shorter-than-normal time (most companies have one-hour interviews), from the interviewer walking into the room until they leave, it's not easy to get to working code. This is the part I disliked the most about the interview process.

There was a short break after the first interview, but no break between the next three consecutive interviews – dang! You are a commodity again.

For the architecture interview, it was really not very clear what the interviewer actually wanted, even after asking clarification questions. After lunch, they decided not to continue the interview, and I was walked out of the building. I am glad they did that because I also didn't feel great about them, and I will definitely never interview with them again.

All in all, I appreciated that they were able to move fast, but the onsite experience was so bad, which aligned with most of the interview reviews here. So, dear fellow engineers, think about what they say and what they do twice before you decide to interview with them. If you want to practice your coding skills, you can give them a try, but I doubt you will enjoy their onsite process.

Since I have signed the NDA, I can't tell the details of the questions. However, one of them can be solved with DP, and another one is also not too hard.
