Smart Team, Growing Pains
Smart Team, Growing Pains
- Very, very smart people (best engineering team in the valley!)
- Lots of opportunity to improve the product
- Very good at reacting quickly and nimbly to changes in market dynamics, etc.
- Growing this fast incurs a lot of growing pains (systems consistently break and then you have to fix them).
- At times our focus is a little scattered.
Articulate the focus areas a little more clearly.

Software Engineer
The interview process was a coding assessment and a phone screen. The coding assessment was a design question consisting of four parts. It increased in difficulty and involved designing a system to do a certain task.

Phone interview: The question was to find all duplicate files in a file system. Follow-up questions included: * What if files are large? * What if files are small? The interviewer was kind of indifferent.

After the resume screen, the second stage was a coding interview. I was asked one question related to recursion, specifically to find a duplicate file in a filesystem. This was conducted in a browser-based text editor.
