Process
10 minutes of experience talk, followed by a technical interview.
The algorithm question was a bit tough for a 40-minute interview. I mean, the company expects bots to code versus humans.
Given a dictionary of words, validate if an input word is valid. The dictionary defines the order of precedence.
Also, I understand the company's culture is more international, but it was really hard to understand the interviewer.

As an engineer, there is a good amount of challenge.Cons: The culture can lead to long work hours.
