Software Engineer New Grad Interview Experience - San Francisco, California
Process
I had a technical screening on the school campus, followed by a technical phone interview and a two-hour take-home coding challenge. The recruiter was very responsive. I went for an on-site interview in mid-February, which included five more rounds. The interviews were all technical and a bit intense, but it's definitely a promising place to work.

- 5.0Awesome engineering teamSenior Software Engineer • Current EmployeeSan Francisco, California, United StatesJuly 10, 2015Pros: Interesting work and smart, open-minded people who are fun to both work and play with. Plenty of opportunities to work with other engineering teams and learn different technologies. One of the best workplaces I've ever seen for female engineers (yep, I'm one). Lots of flexibility for people with families/other personal commitments.Cons: Rapid growth makes it increasingly difficult to know everyone's name in engineering, let alone everywhere else in the company. Also, a gym subsidy would be nice (but now I'm just nitpicking).
