Move fast, learn a lot, work with great people. But work a lot
Working with really sharp engineers is great. I don't have to worry about other people following through.
I can trust that feedback is thoughtful and on point.
Fantastic perks, great company values that people seem to take to heart.
It can be intimidating to start. The interview process is hard, and we hold ourselves to a high standard. I had some imposter syndrome at the outset.

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.
