Process
I applied online. The process took four weeks.
Initial screening went well, and I felt genuinely excited about the opportunity. The technical interview itself was different from what the preparation PDF described: it was less collaborative, with minimal engagement from the interviewer's side. I didn't receive any feedback after the session. The interviewer went on sick leave, and I waited several weeks before receiving a rejection email. I'm fine with rejection, as that's part of the process. What was harder was the uncertainty and the lack of feedback. The prep materials set clear expectations around collaboration and communication, and the actual experience didn't match that.

- 5.0Pleasantly surprised at how thoughtful this company is!Software Engineer • Current EmployeeSan Francisco, California, United StatesJune 26, 2024Pros: I'm still learning, but I appreciate how thoughtful things are done at this company. I never used the product before, but I love it. I like how they track progress on their corporate values. I appreciate their goals as a company and the healthy way they try to treat people.Cons: The onboarding process, while thorough, is quite time-consuming, so a large portion of my time has been spent dealing with this. I'm starting on more program work and looking forward to that. There have been quite a few people leaving since I started, some folks who have been here a long time. I'm watching to see if this is systemic of something larger or just natural attrition within a large company.
