Process
It was okay, though the interviewer was friendly.
He helped me through the interview process. He conducted it super early and thus seemed a bit tired.
Unfortunately, I didn't get the job.

Supportive, Exciting, Fast-paced Growth
Software Engineer • Current Employee
Surry Hills, Australia
December 25, 2020
Pros: Amazingly supportive environment, full of friendly and smart people. The C-level team is refreshingly down to earth and very approachable. It's an exciting time to be at the company, and it feels like the sky is the limit. The Sydney office is amazing, with all the perks you'd expect of a Silicon Valley-style tech company.
Cons: The company is growing rapidly, so inevitably there are some growing pains. The pace of change can sometimes be difficult to keep up with.

Very challenging, but can be rewarding
Senior Software Engineer • Current Employee
Brisbane, Queensland, Australia
January 3, 2025
Pros: Very generous benefits and stock options. Lots of great colleagues with strong alignment on values and mission. Heaps of interesting problems to address.
Cons: Some growing pains are still happening. A lot of engineering leaders are not well trained or supported for leadership, which at times results in teams being unfairly punished for poor management.
The expectations on staff to deliver are very high, and performance reviews are quite brutal and opaque.
