Process
Extremely fast, but I applied early. Big emphasis on design; all technical interviews were on Google Docs.
- 1-hour technical phone interview with an engineering manager. Design and coding were done on a Google Doc.
- 3 back-to-back "virtual onsite" video technical interviews:
- 1 hour on Google Docs. Standard algorithm question.
- 2 hours. They give you a problem to code up, give you 70 minutes to do it, then come back to discuss.
- 45 minutes. Standard algorithm questions.
Questions
Design a chess game. Design a printer. Array manipulation

Pros: Coworkers are open and kind. Development tools are surprisingly good. The office environment is a good mix between quiet and collaborative, and the hybrid 3/2 works well for me. Customers love the product!
Cons: You have to like using the product internally for everything (it can take some getting used to).
The company is working toward profitability, which means there's a need to be disciplined around spending, which projects you take on, etc.
