Process
First, there was a recruiter call to understand your background and suitability for the job. Then, there was a coding round with 10 questions. The difficulty ranged from easy to medium, but time was limited, and you had to pass the test cases. There were also follow-up questions.
After that, you had to go through a three-hour loop round.
Even though I answered everything, I was rejected.

- 5.0Amazing Food, Meeting ManiaData Engineer • Current EmployeeMenlo Park, California, United StatesOctober 13, 2015Pros: 4 months paid leave with newborns, work from home Wednesdays, unlimited high-quality food. I can always walk in the park on the roof if I need some fresh air. The food is consistently great.Cons: The only legitimate con I have about working here is meeting start times. Meetings go from 12:00-1:00, for example, with the following meeting starting at 1:00 promptly. This naturally leads to people starting meetings late. Also, I get withdrawals on the weekends when at home because the food here is so good. It causes me to eat out more on the weekends, and thus I don't actually save on my food bill.
