Lots of work - great projects
Lots of work - great projects
Very geeky environment. Everyone needs to be hands-on.
Lots of useful tools, possibility to work on open-source projects.
Big pressure. It is hard to explain that changes are affecting timelines.
There is no place for your gut feeling; you need to have data for everything, even for things you have not built yet.
Working in a different time zone than Seattle means you can be ignored if you are not willing to join meetings at 10 PM every day.
Make all levels aware that if you are working with people from different time zones, we all need to come early or late at some point. Do not treat locations outside Seattle like: 'You need to adapt to us or die.'

Applied, waited a while, got OA, two-question LC med, final round behavioral + LC easy. Waitlisted then got off the waitlist. Pretty chill process, maybe somewhat RNG with interviewer. Chill process overall.

It was easy and to the point. The interviewer was sweet and allowed me enough time to think about how to approach solving the problems. The coding question asked was for an inventory and managing it. It was an easy solve with the right data structure
