Lots of freedom - you are the master of your own career. You get full credit for your achievements (with the cost of taking full responsibility).
Retains its "move fast" culture - you can get a lot of meaningful work done.
Smart and proficient colleagues - you can learn a lot regardless of your level!
Compensation is fair and sweet.

Horrible working conditions. Wide and extremely noisy open spaces (impossible to concentrate), tiny desks, lines in restrooms, unavailable meeting rooms. I do most of my meaningful work from home. Management refuses to acknowledge the problem and praises facilities, so no chance of this being fixed.
A strong political bias coming all the way from the top pollutes the working climate.
Pretty standard. Just grind LeetCode. They basically want you to make zero mistakes and solve problems like a robot. They don’t really care about your thought process, just that you find the most optimized solution ASAP.
The whole process took about two months. It started with a 30-minute recruiter call, then a 90-minute online assessment with four questions. I didn’t have time to finish all four, but somehow passed that round. The next step was a technical screenin
Technical Phone Screen A 45-minute coding interview where you will solve one or two coding problems, focusing on optimal solutions, edge cases, and complexity analysis. Usually, more than two problems will be asked, and there will be follow-ups to t
