Process
An internal recruiter contacted me. We had a phone screen before I proceeded to the hiring manager interview.
I’m not sure if the hiring manager was unprepared or simply uninterested, but it felt like I had to supply most of the questions during our call.
Most of their questions to me had already been discussed in the lengthy phone screen and were on my resume.
Additionally, I didn’t get a good impression of the team’s leadership or cohesion from the interview.

Figma Work Experiences
- 5.0Cool Projects, Too Much WorkSoftware Developer • Current EmployeeAugust 2, 2023Pros: Cool work, interesting projects to work on.Cons: Lots of work here at Figma.
- 2.0Great technical challenges, but lacking in cultureSoftware Engineer • Former EmployeeSan Francisco, California, United StatesFebruary 22, 2019Pros: - Great team - everybody was working hard but not excessively so. Work-life balance was very valued. - Short shipping cycle - new features were shipped every week and had direct impact on the product.Cons: - Feedback was seriously lacking. Since there was no "direct" hierarchy in place, it was often tough to get good feedback on your work. - Office politics. Since there is no transparent feedback process, it was unclear how promotions were taking place, and those seemed random. - Intransparent hiring policies. It seemed to gear mostly towards ensuring some kind of diversity (whatever definition that entails) and not actual technical skill. - Leadership. The CEO doesn't have good skills to actually manage and provide a direction for the company. There doesn't seem to be a common goal.
- 5.0Great place, good paySoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeSan Francisco, California, United StatesDecember 19, 2023Pros: Great pay. Good manager. Good learning opportunities and growth.Cons: Nothing much to say here.
