Process
Phone interview.
Bad signal, so I couldn't hear the interviewer clearly.
Three minutes were allocated for discussing my resume and self-introduction, followed by a coding exercise.
She had to write down her requirements on the codepad, which made communication very difficult.

Working there wasn't good
Software Engineer • Current Employee
Seattle, Washington, United States
April 2, 2025
Pros: Lots of talented people, among the best in the world.
Cons: Layoffs too quick, and people are only in it for themselves.
4.0
Great tooling, weird culture, awesome benefits and salary
Software Engineer • Current Employee
Seattle, Washington, United States
October 9, 2020
Pros: Top-of-industry compensation and benefits.
Tons of incredibly smart people across a wide range of areas. Combine this with a culture that encourages cross-pollination and collaboration between teams, and you get a great opportunity for learning.
Tooling is one of the best I've seen/heard of in the industry if you're in the right org. But if you go to Oculus, for example, the tooling is far behind.
Cons: There are a lot of entitled people and SJWs.
Public opinion is really bad.
Work/life balance can get pretty bad in certain teams.
Engineering still feels a bit hacky in certain places.
3.0
