Process
A recruiter reached out to me via email.
We scheduled a phone interview for the following week. The interview used CoderPad.
My interviewer went straight to the question as soon as he called. He also wasn't very helpful in nudging me along when I got stuck.
Overall, the interview felt a bit cold compared to some of the other "unicorns" I've interviewed with.
Later in the day, my recruiter called to let me know they wouldn't be moving forward with my candidacy.

- 5.0Great place to work!Software Engineer • Current EmployeeSan Francisco, California, United StatesJanuary 8, 2015Pros: The whole company is moving at a very fast pace. The whole eng team is on a single floor, and it's easy to get things done. Very open and friendly culture. Decent compensation with a considerable amount of stocks.Cons: The tech stack has been growing organically in the past, which means you need to put some effort to be on top of everything. The Eng org is expanding crazily, so you must learn to embrace change. The workspace is small and a bit noisy. It'll get better once we have another floor. It's a 15+ minute walk to BART or Caltrain, which is far enough to make you hate walking. No free parking.
