The interview process involved:

• An initial, quick 30-minute chat with the CTO.
• A 1.5-hour technical challenge conducted via screen share.
• A 4-hour on-site interview featuring two additional similar technical challenges.
• A follow-up call with the CTO for clarifications.
• An offer was received approximately one week later.

The overall interview process was pleasant and well managed.

However, the offices are packed with employees. Work hours are strictly set from 8 AM to 5 PM, with 8:30 AM meetings every day. Employees are only allowed a half-hour to one hour for lunch around noon, making it difficult to escape to the gym or break up the day (this was asked about several times). The catered lunch appears to be a strategy to keep everyone on-site and ensure a minimum 45+ hour on-site work schedule. This was referred to as a "sports team mentality."

The offer was low, and the company stated they do not negotiate "to be fair to other applicants."

I believe the company would benefit from hiring fewer engineers, paying them better, and providing them with more work-life balance and flexibility.
