Process
I applied online, and the process took 3 weeks.
CodeSignal round: I had passed the CodeSignal GCA first to get this round, but I was rejected after it. I did not make it to the hiring manager round.
The recruiter was friendly and provided a detailed salary breakdown.

Pros: Genuinely noble and interesting mission. Really smart and humble people (the quality is much better than some of the big names like Google or Facebook). Super friendly culture to introverts like myself. Highly competitive pay and great benefits.
