Process
A fairly standard hiring manager screening. The HM asked about the structure of my team, projects we recently did, evolvement of our technology, and my hiring strategy.
You have to navigate the questions by yourself and try to understand the interviewer's intention, because they didn't provide many hints or ask follow-up questions.

Wonderful place to work
Software Engineer • Current Employee
September 23, 2023
Pros: Doing some of the best work of my career here. The company has a conspicuous lack of ego, and everyone is just really good at what they do and extremely kind. Lots of opportunity to build new things, be heavily involved in product decisions, and solve hard technical problems (all at once).
Cons: The company is growing really fast, which comes with some tensions that any growing company has, but it's still coping with them as well as any I’ve seen.

Pros: The team is really supportive. People care about creating a warm, inclusive culture, and I've learned a ton from my coworkers here.
We have a mature approach to engineering. We work hard to build stable, well-planned software. This lets us go home at a reasonable hour and not constantly battle fires.
Cons: Because of our size, many product decisions fall on individual engineers and designers. This is healthy in the sense that it gives you a sense of impact, but it also means that you have to be good at handling ambiguity in your day-to-day work.
