Process
The interview process involved:
- A phone screen with HR.
- A phone technical interview round.
- Four on-site interview rounds, including one behavioral and three technical interviews. The technical questions were similar to Medium LeetCode questions. The schedule could be changed upon request.
I managed to provide a solution for all technical rounds, though I struggled a bit with two of them. Despite this, I was still rejected.
Questions
One question about binary trees, two questions about strings, and one question about intervals.

Pros: Great salary.
Great benefits.
Great food.
Great location.
Some really great people.
Cons: Don't expect to see great code. Expect a mess that everyone is struggling to understand, caused by a fast pace, rapid turnover, and some really spectacular bad past design decisions that make things very hard to trace. These decisions are now deeply embedded and would be very hard to remove.
Having said that, if this is your thing, great. They will reward you handsomely to help keep them afloat.
The company is extremely PC. But you already knew that.
Apparently, there's surveillance of personal email/networks. I can't prove it, but I was creeped out too many times.
