Overall, it was a positive experience. The process was quick and efficient, and the office was centrally located and well designed. Organization could've been better, considering I had to leave the interview room (more than once) and flag down a random employee because the person hosting the next session was nowhere to be found. They also seem to have quite a high bar for hiring.
The questions were mostly interesting and reasonable. A coding question, a system design question, and some culture fit questions.
One coding problem was pretty badly designed, however. The concepts and object names seemed to be deliberately confusing, and none of the code could be executed and validated until all of it was written; not a good fit for an interview question.
