This is the first round phone screen, lasting about one hour.
You start with a very basic implementation, and the interviewer will keep asking questions to help you modify your original single-threaded answer to a multi-threaded one.
You need to have a thorough understanding of multi-thread problems and mutexes, and be able to consider different corner cases.

My best job ever
Software Engineer • Current Employee
Prague, Czech Republic
March 11, 2021
Pros: Very smart people everywhere; everybody is very helpful. You can ask anyone for anything.
I feel like I don't have managers but supporters.
The work processes are surprisingly effective in comparison to other companies of this size.
Great projects, many things to learn, and great compensation.
Cons: When I started there, it was just a small office under the wings of a big company. The office has grown significantly, and these great times when we were 10 people in the office are irretrievably gone. Sometimes, I miss it.

High-growth company that's still fun
Software Engineer • Current Employee

Pros: The company is firing on all cylinders: building a great product with disruptive technology that customers love in a huge market, executing incredibly well in operations, marketing, and sales, and reaping the rewards for all of that, truly exceptional growth that few companies in history can match.
Cons: The company is too big to really be a startup any more. I'm not sure it would be as good to join now, given that the inner circle/clique of early employees is already pretty well set.

An amazing place to kickstart your career
Software Engineer • Current Employee
Prague, Czech Republic

Pros: - Lots of growth, interesting technical problems.
- If you have a good idea, management and engineers are interested in making it happen.
- Really smart senior engineers.
- Lots of autonomy to do what's best for the product and company.
- Great work-life balance.
The market is booming, and we have the best product. We are constantly improving processes, and I can really see the change in the speed of deploying our software.
Cons: Tech debt; some products have been neglected, and it is rough to fix them.
The Prague site is growing really fast, and there is sometimes a lack of leadership. If you are willing to step in, you will be rewarded, though.
