Process

I interviewed at their Redwood City location, which is a newer building with modern design architecture, fun decor on the walls, and an open cubicle design. Parking is also easy, as the garage is part of the building.

The recruiter gave me a tour before starting. They have nap rooms and phone booths for private calls.

They are larger than a startup but still at a size where you could probably recognize everyone working there after a few months.

My interview consisted of two coding rounds, one design question, and a two-hour coding exercise. The coding exercise was a nice addition compared to a standard onsite interview, as it really gives you a chance to plan your approach and then write code quickly with an IDE. Plus, you don't end up losing your voice from talking non-stop all day.

Each interviewer was professional, and I enjoyed each conversation. It was a great overall experience.
