Process
I was reached out to by a recruiter.
I needed to submit a CodeSignal assessment, a technical interview, and a behavioral questionnaire. The CodeSignal was really annoying. The interviewer was unhelpful and overall not great for assessing diverse skills and experiences.

Fun, Forgiving and Challenging
Software Engineer • Current Employee
Menlo Park, California, United States
November 13, 2013
Pros: - Salary
- Free food
- Can work from home anytime, no penalty
- Smart and fun team, quick hard-skill growth
- Lot of open-ended problems, lot of low-hanging fruits, lot of possibilities (you just don't see it from outside)
- No such thing as under-utilized/over-qualified for a job. When you're stuck in that situation, you aren't challenging yourself enough.
Cons: - Tax. (Well, it's everybody's problem. But I heard some startups give you salary, tax-less.)
- Got some problem with HR regarding compensation. But it was my mistake for being too late.
