Very intelligent co-workers. I learned a ton from the people I worked with, both in terms of job-related knowledge and other areas related to the industry (Bitcoin, infosec, etc.).
Work-life balance was poor.
I worked around the clock, including weekends, for my final six months at the company.
There was an explicit culture shift while I was there, and I believe that new employees are given accurate information regarding expectations, so anyone joining now shouldn't be surprised by this.
I had a frontend software engineer interview. The first problem was easy, but the scale-ups started to get more difficult, involving accessing information from databases to display it on the website being built for the interview.
A very simple, two-step process: 1. Talk to an engineering manager about your past experience and, more generally, to get to know each other. 2. A screen-sharing coding session in a language of my choice.
Basic phone screen, then a lot of rounds begin: 1. Coding problem - LC medium problem. Anyone that did some LC problems can solve this. The interviewer for this part, if it is the same for everyone, is a VERY nice guy. 2. Behavior with Management
