Process
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks.
Quite possibly the best interviews I've ever had. Standard tech industry rounds, but the major difference was the interviewers and recruiters you come across. Interviewers were extremely friendly and chill, which lets you relax very quickly and perform your best. The recruiter communicated very clearly and effectively, and was able to accommodate my tight schedule as I had other competing offers coming in from previous interviews. The interview process really showed the company's culture and the people they hire, and was the major factor when considering multiple offers.
Questions
The process was an initial screening, a technical round, a system design round, and a behavioral round.

If you're not on a product team and not one of the first 20 engineers, you'll struggle to progress Lack of direction from senior management.
