Hands down the most transparent company I've heard of. Board decks, financials, the role of gender in the company. All of it is on the very active and thoughtful wiki.
Wears its culture on its sleeve. If you read these reviews and think "yeah, I'm up for the challenge" then it's great.
Centralized authority and trust. Management is careful to not be top down. Exciting, if sometimes disorganized. Feels like a 40-person company.
Pre-IPO run-up is exhilarating.
You break it, you buy it. Authority to do your own thing means you own success and failure.
Culture can be a bit fratty.
Reliance on some superstars can feel like favoritism.
Love the transparency. Clear communication of the vision is the only thing that keeps the decentralized authority from being a train wreck.
Keep focusing on customers, not money, deals, or features.
A recruiter reached out to me and immediately set up a phone interview with a VP of Engineering. He mostly asked questions about my experience and things I've worked on, and dove into some technical details of past projects. The interview went well,
They messaged me on LinkedIn and sent an online assessment through email. The assessment included knowledge of data structures and algorithms, along with REST APIs. I did not complete it on time.
Phone screen, followed by three on-site, hour-long interviews with four senior developers and managers. Coding questions were asked in each interview, covering SQL, algorithms, Javascript, and web architecture. One interview was a group interview.
