Process
The phone interview was fairly straightforward and fair. The interviewer was nice and answered all of my questions. I actually had to reschedule my phone interview twice, and I am grateful for how they handled it. Overall, the interview was simple if you have experience in CS; I simply screwed up.

Supportive Growth, Minor Pressure
Software Engineer • Current Employee
Seattle, Washington, United States
September 22, 2016
Pros: The perks are amazing.
Transparency and openness of policy, leadership, and codebase.
Props to leadership admitting to their faults/failures and working to learn from them.
Supporting your growth – personal and professional.
Cons: New managers in transition, but that's inevitable.
Pressure to work more – this is very team-dependent. Despite efforts to say work however you like, if many people on your team are working throughout the night, it's hard not to feel the pressure.
Open office space isn't for everyone – where's my flow state? This has improved with more and more rooms being allocated for personal use and the ability to update work status.
The Seattle office is older than MPK.
