Quora is definitely a good company. The interview process was smooth and arranged well. I think two things didn't go well:
I had an on-laptop coding question where I was not told whether I should just write working code or optimized working code. I felt that instruction would have helped in passing the laptop coding test. The person conducting the coding test seemed in a lot of a hurry, making me feel that completing working code should be sufficient. Sadly, I guess that was not the case. I completed the task about 10 minutes before the scheduled end time.
No feedback was given regarding where things went wrong. It would have been better if some feedback had been provided.
Otherwise, it was an overall good experience with a fantastic team. I wish them good luck for the future!
Prepare yourself well.
