Process
The recruiters were engaged and positive. I really enjoyed conversing with them throughout the entire process.
After receiving a synopsis of the interview process, I studied and prepared based on what they discussed would be covered.
The first interview, the "tech screen," felt fair and evaluated my ability to perform real job functions.
After moving on to the full on-site, I was also pleasantly surprised by the interview format, which evaluated the kind of skills I'd use for day-to-day tasks rather than forcing algorithms.
Overall, I had a great experience and a lot of fun going through the process.

Company values and gives back to the OSS community (check out Envoy). Good leveling track for individual contributor engineers.

If you come here expecting to coast, you might be disappointed.
