- You got to work with many intelligent people and learn from them.
- You got to work on a huge codebase that is owned by many different teams.
- Good mentor opportunities exist if you look for them.
- On-call escalation (especially late-night ones) can be stressful.
- (At least for my team) Team members are siloed in their own features, so half of the team doesn't really know what the other half is working on.
- Working with some external teams can take a long time and require a lot of escalations.
Consolidate features owned by individual teams.

The recruiter guided well during the interview. The coding question was medium-level; you need to explain time and space complexity clearly. Make sure your answer is also clear.

I had one coding challenge take-home for screening. The on-site consists of: * 3 coding interviews * 1 system design interview There were 2 leadership principle (behavior) questions in each round.

Ask a tech question and a couple of behavioral questions. Then you have about 20 minutes to solve the tech question. At last, you get the chance to ask them questions.
