Process
The initial recruiter interview felt very short. The technical interviews, however, were quite complex. It was unclear what the interviewers were looking for, and the inclusion of LeetCode Hard questions seemed like overkill for the role. Furthermore, the process of over six rounds of interviews felt like a chore.

everything is on fire
Software Engineer • Current Employee
New York, NY
March 9, 2026
Pros: Good exit opportunities, fast promotions, and opportunities to make an outsized impact in a hybrid office culture.
Cons: Expect your priorities to change every week if not every day. Things break all the time. Quantity >>> quality. Most on-call rotations are 4 people or less. Turnover is high.
40/30/20/10 stock split; you don’t benefit as much if the stock appreciates and you need to work extra hard to get refreshers. Company values include “being frugal”.

Great team and culture
Software Engineer • Current Employee

Pros: There's a strong engineering culture. Engineers get a level of visibility and decision-making that's unparalleled in a company this size. There's an incredibly high number of former CTOs and founders on the team. Tons of great people to learn from.
The company has a clear strategic vision and a great product.
Lots of career opportunities as the company is growing quickly, and people are taking on new roles and founding new product lines.
Cons: Timezone differences are hard on the India team. Most team meetings and company all-hands are in the mornings for the US and evenings for India.
