Process
I was referred by an intern in the summer. I had an on-campus interview in September 2019 for an hour with two questions, then a phone screen a few weeks later in October for 45 minutes with one question. The first two questions were pretty easy, and the last one was a little more difficult.

Pays well, but everyday politics fries one's brain
Software Engineer • Current Employee
Seattle, Washington, United States
April 24, 2025
Pros: - Good pay.
- Really talented peers, especially engineering folks.
- Some good systems; established processes; change to work on some cutting-edge new technologies.
Cons: Too much politics and thrash, redundancy within the company, teams on two different orgs working on the same thing, and upper management has no influence to improve cross-org collaboration.
Too much thrash in terms of design/product decisions. Mature products mean less greenfield opportunity.
Impact-driven culture which is equally thrashy, and engineers bear the brunt of most of it.
Lot of scope fighting within the teams. Are there too many engineers for the amount of work there is?
