I was approached by their internal recruiter, who was okay, but not the best – perhaps a little disorganized.

The VP seemed reasonable and friendly, and I have no complaints about my encounter with him at all.

My primary point of complaint was the actual onsite technical interview with the engineers. One mid-level engineer in particular was the stereotypical arrogant, "know-it-all" Silicon Valley type. Being far more experienced than him, I felt he seemed threatened by me, as the role I was interviewing for would be senior to him. He was very difficult and generally had an attitude problem, and was looking for a strong enough excuse to use as ammunition for the interview retro. During the entire interview process, I was pleasant and accommodating; if nothing else, I wanted to walk away knowing I'd been professional throughout the process.

Based on my experience with this one person, there is no way I would be interested in a role at this organization, regardless of the package.

To the VP: You have some good people, but if you want to attract more good people, you need to weed out the above types who only help to give a very poor impression of your company. Life360 is not Google; you're going to struggle to hire strong people if the interview process continues like this.

To the engineer I met with: Don't be threatened by senior people; think of that as an opportunity to learn and to help you become the best engineer you can be. You don't need to be one of "those" engineers.

General architectural questions around Data Pipelines. Nothing difficult at all.
