Process
I applied through a recruiter.
Phone Screen: The interview was to implement a class and some methods. It was still more of a DSA/Leetcode style. I think it was definitely implementable within the time, so it's fair. I was interviewed by a mid-level engineer using Python. The interviewer didn't give hints, although he helped me remember some Python datetime methods.

Solutions Architect • Current Employee
January 23, 2022
Pros: You work with world-class people.
You have endless opportunities to utilize your strengths.
You learn extremely fast and have a high degree of visibility and accountability.
Competitive pay with Big Tech.
The culture is positively competitive. Everyone competes but builds each other up while doing it. This is hard to create in a company.
Cons: It’s growing really fast, so you need to be the one to define the vision and direction for your career.
In sales, the teams can feel disorganized.
Training is there, but maybe not completely relevant. The onboarding could be more connected to the day-to-day work.
