Process
I received an online HackerRank test for the initial screening. Glassdoor is forcing me to put 30 words. I have no idea why, as I don't have information beyond 10 words!

Kind People, Unstable Strategy
Senior Software Engineer • Former Employee
San Francisco, California, United States
March 9, 2023
Pros: 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.
