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.

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.

I was contacted by a recruiter to schedule the interviews. You can really decide the date and take the time you need to prepare for it. I had two 45-minute Hangouts. The interviewer went straight to the coding question, using a Google Doc to support

I received an invitation for an interview through LinkedIn, which was followed by a phone call with HR. This then continued with 10 algorithm questions. The questions were entirely focused on algorithms, complexities, worst-case scenarios, and so on.
