- Application
- A lengthy mailing process with numerous recruiters
- Coding challenges on HackerRank (or a similar platform)
- A single, one-hour interview covering technical, design, and leadership principles
- A half-day session with four one-hour interviews, also focusing on technical, design, and leadership principles, which was exhausting

Egregious compensation practices and benefits
Software Engineer • Current Employee
Seattle, Washington, United States
March 2, 2021
Pros: 1. Challenging work with a good learning curve.
2. Smart peers
Cons: 1. There is no annual bonus. Promotions place you at the lowest band for that level.
2. There are no refreshers. Stocks are granted for years without the initial stock grant, with 15% assumed growth per year.
3. Overall, if you're an SDE, most other companies pay far superior.
4. Bare-bones benefits with a 2% match on 401k.
