Process
Pretty standard. The process involved a phone screen, followed by a phone interview, and then an onsite interview. There were three interviews onsite. Everything went very well, though. My recruiter was friendly, and the interviewers were friendly. Everyone understood how difficult the process is and was willing to work with me.

Amazing Coworkers, Questionable Leadership

Pros: Extremely smart people who I've learned a ton from. They have very impressive technical impact and work with lots of cool clients.
Cons: Some questionable decisions from leadership, including really sparse raises after the stock tanked. This caused a lot of really good people to leave. I was very concerned about the brain drain before I left.
