Process

The process began with a short introductory interview with the recruiter, who was very helpful throughout.

This was followed by two more interviews with engineers.

The technical questions were similar to LeetCode questions, and LeetCode Premium is worth it.

There was a lot of helpful feedback from the recruiter.

Trying to be an engineering culture.

Senior UI Engineer • Current Employee

Mountain View, California, United States

Pros: The pay and the benefits are nice. There's a pretty decent work-life balance, but it can be bad depending on the team. There are some genuinely smart people working there. There's a solid mission that I believe a few people actually believe in.

Cons: Some ancient technologies and processes (SVN, JSPs, bad tooling, etc.). Getting code reviewed and deployed is a painful process. The tooling hinders more than it helps. Trying to become an "engineering culture" place, but it isn't a technology company. This seems to be driven from management as opposed to from the ground up, in an attempt to attract more Bay Area talent away from companies like Facebook and Google. Current turbulence as large restructuring in departments occurs and the stock price has fallen over 50%, causing a pivot in business plans.
