Process
Applied through my college. Got an email a week later. Attended the interview, we talked about soft skills for about 5-10 minutes, then the rest were just technical questions. Around half hour into the interview, they gave me a LeetCode coding challenge. I managed to solve it, but wasn't efficient enough ( wasn't O(log n) ).
Weeks later I haven't received any email back from them. Would have been nice to receive some feedback or even a rejection email.
Questions
Given an array of integers nums sorted in ascending order, find the starting and ending position of a given target value.
If target is not found in the array, return [-1, -1].
Follow up: Could you write an algorithm with O(log n) runtime complexity?

Great company culture

Pros: The Dublin office is in that sweet spot between a startup and a bigger company -- meaning a lot of flexibility and the potential for variety if so desired, as well as a lot of good opportunities to learn. Feedback seems to flow in both directions as well.
Cons: American offices seem to be lacking knowledge about how things work in Europe.

good people and interesting technical problems, but senior management within the office feels very cliquey

Pros: - Problem solving at scale makes challenges interesting.
- People are very easy to approach when you need technical support.
- They do try their best to foster a positive culture.
- It is a nice office with snacks and a nice coffee machine.
- People are encouraged to try out and bring forward new technological advances, which is nice in theory until you realise there's no chance that you will have the time to do this.
- There are some very highly skilled engineers here.
- It is easy to connect with people in different departments within the office, and people are just generally very nice.
Cons: Focus on diversity and inclusivity is great but content and trainings are largely tone-deaf and completely America-centric- the office badly suffers from a clique of long term employees who seem to strongly influence your career progression, and sadly not based on technical ability- managers largely ineffective at resolving interpersonal issues, very corporate and emotionally detached, clear they only care about how it impacts the business- for the type of work that is done here there is no good reason it should be such a high stress environment, and it looks like anyone who has been here for a long time is either a workaholic or completely detached
