Positive ExperienceNo Offer
Process
A pretty standard tech interview: introduction, two programming questions, and questions from the candidate's side.
There weren't many follow-ups, and it seemed the interviewer was in a bit of a hurry.
I was able to solve both tasks, but I was probably expected to come up with a better complexity class for one of the problems.

Pros: - Benefits and perks are plentiful.
- You can pick any team or project you want to work on.
- People on my team are super nice and smart; I don't know about other teams.
- Your accomplishments on any task will impact millions of users.
- Tasks are challenging and interesting enough to engage you in your work.
- You can contribute input to the projects your team is working on.
Cons: These are not really cons, but rather responsibilities:
* You are responsible for what you do. If it causes errors, you have to fix them.
* The codebase is huge without much documentation. The code is literal in itself, so you must ramp up by reading the code instead of documentation.
* Sometimes overtime is necessary. You can still manage to maintain work/life balance if you are experienced enough. Most people won't have a problem with this.

Pros: You get to work with the smartest people, the best tools, and the most amount of data whilst influencing billions of people. Also, the perks like free food and travel are pretty good!
Cons: It's so fast-paced that it's always intense. The documentation gets left behind, and there's a focus on getting things done reasonably well, but not always perfectly.
