Lots of company events (celebration for Chinese New Year; anniversary celebration; brought in the Humane Society bus sometimes).
Good compensation.
Productive team.
QA and code review mean it's hard to ship a bug.
My PMs were AMAZING and taught me that PM-ing is actually incredibly useful when done well.
YMMV--it seems like every team experience is incredibly different. The tech/IT desk is terrible at what they do and pretty transparently sexist. Expect to have to Google your problems.
For a huge company that onboards a lot of people regularly, the onboarding process was ridiculously bad. Documentation isn't up-to-date. Everyone has heard of the problem you're having, but no one remembers how to fix it.
Similarly, there are a lot of undocumented code requirements; you end up getting knocked back in code review for requirements that you've never even heard of before.
Work on the onboarding process and support for newer team members. Try to apply lessons learned across the board from teams that run well and are pleasant to work on.
Applied through the college Career Fair. One week later, they sent out a HackerRank coding assessment with 70 minutes for 2 questions. The questions were of an "Easy HackerRank" type. Two weeks later, I received a call for their on-site interviews.
On-campus interviews were held in February and were pretty chill. I then moved on to an on-site interview in San Francisco in March. There were three rounds of interviews in the afternoon. The first one was technical, though I can't recall the specif
The process took two weeks. The recruiter asked basic data structure and math problems. It was immediately after a career fair at college. Nice recruiter with direct technical questions. Positive experience.
