Process
Technical screen, followed by on-site technicals. This was essentially pair programming. Nothing too difficult, but it offered a refreshing change of pace and covered interesting topics. I would recommend more paired programming interviews. It was fun.

Great culture and great support from your coworkers
Software Engineering Intern • Former Employee
San Francisco, California, United States
February 28, 2023
Pros: Everyone loves to learn from each other and is always open to pairing to help others out. Lots of flexibility. Touched base with management frequently/as needed, never felt lost.
Cons: - Lack of communication about logistics, such as returns offers and evaluations.
- Pushed-back dates we were given to receive more info about return offers, etc. No one ever knew exactly what was going on.

Great overall culture, but some management issues
Software Engineer • Current Employee
San Francisco, California, United States
June 3, 2022
Pros: Overall great work-life balance, awesome people, and amazing culture.
Cons: When push comes to shove, culture is set aside by some of the managers. As with most startups/tech companies, the company seemed to start compromising its values during more difficult times.
I had to leave during the start of the pandemic because the first conversation my manager had with me was about maintaining output during "these unprecedented times" after I had told them I was having a hard time focusing due to my family being high-risk.
