Process
Pretty standard, with multiple rounds of technical interviews and one behavioral. You have to hope the Hiring Manager is already interested, as mine joined late and proceeded to clearly not care or pay attention to the answers to their behavioral questions. Also, the recruiter will refuse to give feedback post-interview.

Good, but not as good as it was a year ago
Software Engineer • Former Employee

November 12, 2016
Pros: Energetic coworkers, exciting space. You get to see a lot of different sides of a physical business, not just selling advertising space. Lots of opportunities for leadership for those who seek them.
Cons: Fratty. Young company with young execs who are clearly still figuring things out as they go. Less respect and autonomy than they advertise. Lots of rushing for no reason, awful work-life balance.
