Software Engineer Interview Experience - New York, New York
Process
They only seem to accept CS degree students.
I politely and lightheartedly asked for feedback on one of the debug challenges they require with applications, since it took a week and it was for an early career position. I applied with a referral, and the very nice recruitment team forwarded me to someone who gave me a very short response: "This position is for college students."
I thanked them for their time and consideration.
After that, I persisted a bit and continued to apply to other positions, but the rejections came quicker, even with referrals. The entrance exercises are too much work to keep doing with every application, especially without knowing if they hire bootcampers or not, so consider this lesson learned.
It sucks because I heard it was a nice place to work otherwise.
Questions
7-8 tedious debug challenges to submit with some internship/early career applications.
"capture the flag" base64 decoding puzzle to submit with some of the other frontend positions. These are not the easiest things to figure out if you're just getting started, and they don't give feedback if rejected.

Ramp Work Experiences
- 5.0Excellent team, executing wellSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeNew York, NYApril 22, 2024Pros: People are great. My team is some of the best engineers that i've had the pleasure of working with.Cons: Engineering management is mostly individual contributors doing double duty. This is ideal if you like low involvement management and a relatively flat org chart. Not great if you want dedicated career, and not technical, mentoring and soft skill development.
- 5.0Love working hereSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeSan Francisco, CANovember 20, 2025Pros: Having been here the last two years, I think the engineering culture here is wonderful -- very builder oriented, with no EMs hired externally, and a humble, ambitious leadership team, interesting technical problems, and tons of growth opportunities. Peers are inspiring and customers really love the product.Cons: The mission is simple – to save our customers time and money – and though it is pure for a B2B company, it is ultimately about automating financial operations, which can at times feel less than inspiring. Though all the pros (amazing growth, culture, peers, and work) feel like they heavily outweigh this.
- 4.0Truly fast movingSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeNew York, NYJanuary 20, 2025Pros: Working with smart and driven peopleCons: Grind culture and growing pains of a startup
