Smart Team, Big Challenges
Smart Team, Big Challenges
Great (friendly, smart, and experienced) co-workers.
Big scale and thus interesting challenges.
Perks and benefits.
Somewhat bigger transparency in its internal politics. You can publicly criticize decisions made, even at a high level.
Moving between teams is easy, including into offices in other countries and cities.
- It is a corporation, so while it’s better than many, don’t expect rainbows without some rain.
- If you don’t watch out, you can get sucked in and sacrifice work/life balance. You typically won’t be asked to do that, though.

Software Engineer
Very difficult and many logic exercises, and it is very difficult to get in. I do not recommend. Little code required, problem-solving activities, many requests and few open positions.
Software Engineer
Very positive experience. There were five technical interview rounds, including one systems design interview and a lunch with an interviewer. The interviewers were very knowledgeable and nice, and they helped me feel at ease during the interview.
Senior Software Engineer
Standard LeetCode. Seven rounds in total because I got misleveled and needed to take an additional onsite. Overall, a bad experience since I told the recruiter from the start that I was only interested in the upper level of the two.
