Negative ExperienceNo Offer
Process
The questions were convoluted.
Team members seemed unenthusiastic and lacked excitement about the interview or their team.
I was informed about another interview, but then received a rejection with no further reply.
Questions
Just normal technical LeetCode questions, with some follow-ups about time and space complexity.

Pros: Interesting challenges to work on, and very smart people.
Cons: Terrible middle management. Constantly brags about having a better culture than FAANG yet imports managers from those same companies by the truckload. You have to work very performatively for a manager to care about your growth.
