The interviewers were very friendly. The questions were challenging and more difficult than at most companies.
There were:

No consistent culture and terrible management teams

Pros: Early phase of the company, and you have impacts.
Cons: Everything was too random and arbitrary; I cannot see consistent strategies.

In general, good growth opportunities
Software Engineer • Current Employee
Seattle, Washington, United States
June 17, 2018
Pros: The company grows very fast, and there are some great opportunities to make impacts.
Cons: The Seattle team grows very fast, but the process of ramping up is not good. In some cases, people are even counter-productive due to increased bureaucracy, amateur code, and rounds of code reviews to help them (some have big egos!).
The hiring process is a little casual, and there are no consistent bars on hiring people, resulting in some "great" and some "not so good" hires.
There are also rumors from outside sources that new hires get much higher packages than current employees, which is not good for morale.

Pros: Diverse, intellectual rigor, strong and diverse culture.
High-impact teams who are extremely sharp.
The office has amazing views of the Puget Sound and Lake Washington, making coming to work every day enjoyable.
Cons: Things are moving at the speed of sound. Nothing too unusual for a rapidly growing company.
