The interview was an all-day process. I personally felt it was overkill. I could tell right off the bat, as a woman, I’d feel uncomfortable working there. There were four interviews, each with two interviewers assigned. Not one of them were women; all men. I sat through three 1-hour whiteboarding sessions. All were relevant questions, and it felt like they were all assessing the same thing. Then, a 90-minute coding challenge. The challenge was difficult. I’m pretty sure you need to pass at least a couple of test cases to make it, even if you pass whiteboarding with flying colors. I did great on the whiteboarding sessions, but by the end of the day, my brain was pretty much over it, and I didn’t do well on the coding challenge.

All in all, I wasn’t offered a position, but even if I had been, I would have declined. It seemed like a shiny, cool place to work, but I could tell there were some internal issues going on. I don’t know what they’re doing to diversify their workplace.
