Process
I was initially contacted by a recruiter via email. They provided information on a position for which I might be suited.
From there, a phone interview was set up. This interview was a standard HR interview, with a few average-level technical problems. The interview process and next steps were explained.
The process and contact were slow and took a long time.
Questions
The questions were pretty simple, standard algorithm questions.

Great place to intern
Software Engineer Intern • Former Employee
New York, New York, United States
March 30, 2023
Pros: - Complete ownership of an important company project, although it is a little daunting in the beginning.
- Very supportive culture that is willing to offer lots of guidance; I never felt completely lost.
- Laidback working environment; I came into the office at 10 am most days.
- Decent work-life balance as a SWE (may be different for FDEs), pretty consistent 40-hour work week.
- Everyone puts a lot of interest into your career growth; they want to see you enjoy and succeed at your work. My mentor and lead were amazing.
- Get to travel a bunch even as an intern, which is super cool!
Cons: Fewer intern social events than I expected, at least in the NY office.
