Senior Frontend Engineer Interview Experience - San Francisco, California
November 1, 2019
Negative ExperienceNo Offer
Process
I completed the onsite interview and then never heard back.
I can’t assume that I was rejected because of interview performance, as I did well on the questions asked and each interviewer gave me positive feedback on the spot.
The interview questions were impersonal and rapid-fire. I did not have a dedicated lunch break. One interviewer was working on other things during my interview.

The company is growing, and the future looks bright

Pros: The company has gone through a lot of change in the last 6-8 months, all for the good. The current executive team is the best we ever had.
Good and smart teammates, generally very helpful.
Engineering re-architecture is happening to tackle the next 10x growth. There are lots of opportunities to learn and grow as the transformation happens.
Emphasis on product quality and engineering craft.
Cons: Sometimes there is a lack of communication across teams, which has changed a lot since the new leadership.
There is a lot of growth, and it can be overwhelming sometimes.
If you are looking for a 9-to-5 job, this is not the place.

Pros: Amazing engineers
Fun product
Nice perks
Cons: Reorgs a little too often.
I think the stock is overvalued and hasn't been adjusted for engineers.

Great mission and wonderful people, squandered by senior leadership

Pros: Patreon has a great mission, and many people there are incredibly dedicated to it. It could be a genuinely inspiring place to work at times. The codebase was even clean and pleasant to work in! I learned a ton, and for most of my tenure, I felt supported and appreciated.
Cons: Sometime in 2018, leadership started making really odd decisions, and they haven't stopped. There have been sudden firings, constant thrash on strategy and reporting structure, and vague explanations as to why any of it was happening.
It is not a safe or comfortable place to work anymore. Good talent is leaving in droves, and the organization is steadily losing diversity. It's incredibly depressing to watch.
