Senior Fullstack Engineer Interview Experience - San Francisco, California
Process
A 45-minute technical interview was split into two questions. The time felt very tight. The questions were individually not too difficult but left very little room for error. After 20 minutes, the interviewer suggested I make an attempt at the second question and go back to the first if time allowed. This was difficult to adjust to, as I was tilted from debugging the first question.
Questions
Q1: Given an array of integer intervals, merge as many as possible.
Q2: Write a rate limiter that has a max of 1 request per second.

- 4.0Good, career growth struggles thoughSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeSan Francisco, California, United StatesOctober 7, 2024Pros: Amazing engineers Fun product Nice perksCons: Reorgs a little too often. I think the stock is overvalued and hasn't been adjusted for engineers.
- 1.0Not Great Anymore - Don't Be FooledEngineering Manager • Former EmployeeSan Francisco, California, United StatesJuly 28, 2020Pros: Had a great culture & employees with tons of passion for the mission. Great mission. Charismatic CEO & a strong performance/presentation culture.Cons: They still use old employee photos and culture artifacts to lure new employees to a culture that is long gone. Ongoing deferral of critical technical work in favor of short-term product features. Repeated layoffs of highly trusted employees due to rash decision making and politics. Rotating leadership with ever-diminishing empathy & increasing politics over time.
- 2.0Kind People, Unstable StrategySenior Software Engineer • Former EmployeeSan Francisco, California, United StatesMarch 9, 2023Pros: There are a lot of kind and creative people at Patreon.Cons: Patreon has been struggling with strategy since the beginning. My time there started six months after a large layoff. Six months later, I was laid off in a big release of engineering talent, following a "fat billion-dollar valuation." Three months later, they were hiring again. A year later, they announced another large layoff and then started hiring again.
