Process
The interview process was fairly typical for a tech company.
It involved several rounds and then presenting some work to several individuals.
It felt lengthy for me, as I don’t come from big tech.

Pros: People are great: smart, motivated, energetic. The product is the next big thing. There is no way not to be psyched about where this is going.
Cons: The management is dysfunctional. Lots of people are really unhappy, especially in engineering. There is no vision for engineering. No one will say anything about it, though, because they are afraid; people who speak up get fired.
