One of the best engineering teams. A lot of freedom to pursue even the craziest product ideas/hacks. Chance to work with world-class designers/product people. One of the few companies that will make it BIG. Great perks, best food options in the Bay Area. Great commute to the South Bay (office right at the Caltrain station) or San Francisco.
A lot of challenge and competition from other bigger companies.
Should focus more on the core product, especially the business option.
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.
