Process
A basic phone interview process, 45 minutes. The question was to parse an equipped CSV string. It was very simple. I did it in 20 minutes, but it had bugs at first.

It was alright
Software Engineer (Backend) • Former Employee
Los Angeles, California, United States
February 20, 2016
Pros: At the time, it was an alright position with the company still on the up and coming, but I'm sure it has changed by now.
Cons: Not much, except it's not in the best location, and the offices weren't the best either. But overall, not much to complain about.

Exciting Work, Cold Food
Software Engineer • Current Employee
San Francisco, California, United States
August 22, 2013
Pros: Great atmosphere, lots of opportunity, still a small company. It's great being a part of such an exciting company. Every day is an adventure, and it's like nothing I've ever experienced.
Cons: The food is not very good. It's usually cold, and the vegetarian options aren't great. The food is better than Google, but not as good as Twitter.
Being at such a young, immature company means the benefits are young and immature. The salary is okay, but I still took a 40% pay cut to join this company. Hopefully, the stock options will be worth something someday.
