Process
The recruiter was nice, but I had less experience than they wanted. They told me they would contact me later, so I am just waiting to hear back from them again.

A Company For Gamers, By Technologists!
Software Engineer • Current Employee
Los Angeles, California, United States
April 10, 2023
Pros: - Breakfast, lunch, and dinner provided on campus (NOMS).
- Coffee and smoothie bars.
- League of Legends RP and Valorant VP distributions.
- On-site gym.
- "Work Hard, Play Hard" mentality.
- Three weeks of company PTO (one week summer break and two weeks of winter break).
Cons: Lots of different teams and processes unique to the operation of those teams, so everyone's experience is not exactly the same. Went about 3 months without a manager because the bar is really high for management.
