Process
I was contacted by a recruiter through the GHC resume database and received a coding challenge. After completing it, I was told that I didn't pass.
Overall, the coding challenge was pretty user-friendly and wasn't particularly challenging, though it was designed for a college sophomore.

Great Perks, Slow Development
Software Engineer • Former Employee
Mountain View, California, United States
March 21, 2016
Pros: Great food, coffee, snacks, and perks.
Great initial offer and stock.
Great 401k matching.
InDay – a day a month to hack, paint, or whatever.
Overall, a good environment with some intelligent engineers and awesome perks.
Cons: Team moves incredibly slow (might not apply to everyone).
Bad refresher stocks.
Maintenance mode development.
Extreme tech debt was taking a huge toll on development.
My team wasn't really exciting and was mostly just maintaining the existing product. I felt like the engineers weren't given much freedom to design, as most of the time the architect would babysit us.
