Process
The typical process involved talking with a recruiter, followed by a coding technical screen.
The technical interviewer was fine and very nice, but was being shadowed. This indicates a lack of experience, and they asked a question whose difficulty didn't match the position's.
The problem was to write a method 'isAnagram,' which is appropriate for a junior developer but not for a senior position.
The second half of the problem, where they wanted to increase the difficulty, was again not at all difficult. They simply asked to handle punctuation, which doesn't change any of the data structures or logic flow.
Their question didn't test my problem-solving skills in the slightest.
Questions
Write a function to determine if two words are anagrams. The second part was to handle punctuation and whitespace.

Pros: Autonomy - The leadership team empowers every individual to own outcomes and operate in a manner that allows them to unlock their full potential and drive value.
Ideation - Every individual's opinions and design proposals are heard and valued. There are venues and processes to support green-field ideation.
High-performance growth - We are building a high-performing e-commerce technology product at a rapid rate. I was able to learn new technologies and processes at a faster rate than I would have at any other company.
Personal learning and lifestyle budget - Employees have a generous budget for self-learning, conferences, and books, along with career coaching & wellness budgets for fitness.
Community - The smartest and well-rounded group of individuals I have worked with.
Culture - Free lunch daily, dog-friendly, ERGs, annual company offsite, company swag, interest groups, etc.
Cons: There are an abundance of complex problems to solve.
Sometimes this can become difficult when coordinating across multiple teams, departments, and third parties to deliver features.
Four days a week in the office. I would prefer three days in the office and two days remote. It is worth noting there is some flexibility if you have extenuating circumstances.
