The company grows very fast, and there are some great opportunities to make impacts.
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.
Grow, grow, grow!
The process involved an on-site interview that lasted half a day. It included four coding interviews. Even though the interview questions were straightforward, I later heard that one of the engineering managers didn't think they had a position open
1. Started with phone calls with the recruiter. 2. Set up an informational with the Hiring Manager on-site, giving me a look at the company's energy level. 3. Interview loop on-site. 4. Offer stage and negotiations (got my result within a week).
I had a telephonic interview with a recruiter, followed by a telephonic technical interview, three technical rounds, and an on-site hiring manager interview. The technical rounds consisted of: * Two algorithm questions * One system design question
