Process
One round of four DSA questions that increased in difficulty. We had one hour to complete them. They said it was fine if we could not complete the last two. I completed the first two in five minutes, then completed the third one (which was harder), and did not have time to complete the last one.

Pros: - Generally a joy to show up to work every day.
- Excellent engineering culture. Everyone I worked with seemed to be genuinely excited to be there, solving problems and working on new things.
- Management highly values employee satisfaction and career growth. I had lots of opportunities to learn new skills and take on new challenges.
Cons: - Living in Pittsburgh isn't for everyone, and most positions are located there.
- The company has grown a lot over the last few years, which has made for constant change in teams, people, processes, features, code/architecture – just about everything.
This isn't really a con for the right type of person, and it may mellow out as the company transitions out of the late-stage startup phase, but be prepared for a very dynamic environment.
