Nice benefits, especially if you like to travel. Chill office culture; there's very rarely a feeling that you're under pressure to complete something. Developers are professional and good to work with. Completely flat structure of the IT department, meaning every developer is pretty much equal and allowed to design features and make technical decisions. The success of a feature is determined by the results of A/B testing. So you can pretty much work on anything, and no one will tell you that your idea is wrong, especially if it's successful on metrics. This is great if you are full of ideas and feel that management won't let you run with them.
Other side of the same things.
A flat department structure means there's absolutely no plan and no control. Everyone can quietly implement a feature that doesn't fit with the rest of the code.
On the other hand, if they get noticed, they are immediately harassed by every other peer developer who has something to say. Getting people to agree on anything is practically impossible, because there's no authority and someone always has an opinion against it.
Every code change has to run through time-consuming A/B testing, which creates huge technical debt and makes it really difficult to deal with.
All of this is viewed as a feature, not a bug; the company actually hires even more developers to run as many features as possible.
Acknowledge that the company is not a startup anymore and has to grow structurally, not just in size.

The interview process involved three rounds, which took three weeks: * An initial conversation with the Director * A behavioural interview * A pair programming interview The process was very smooth and engaging, and the interviewers were very frien
A general phone interview with a human resource manager followed by a technical phone interview. The general interview was pleasant. During the first interview, salary was discussed, which I thought was odd. The technical phone interview felt rush
