Process
In the beginning, it was a little bit slow, but later it got much smoother.
Everyone was super nice and wanted to make sure I felt comfortable, especially when I was on site.
Coding exercises were slightly easier than I expected. System design was as difficult as I thought it would be.
Questions
Four short coding exercises and two system design interviews

Pros: Reasonable work-life balance, free meals, free gym membership.
Cons: Monoculture.
Most employees are young, fresh out of college grads. A lot of people move on to different tech companies within 2-3 years.
I'm not sure why there's so much turnover when compensation and perks are good.
