Process
I received a call from HR and spoke with a VP who displayed no emotions or excitement.
I then received a call from the HR coordinator to schedule another round of interviews. This will involve 5 hours of interviews with 5 different people. It seems designed to cause 5 technical folks with similar titles to fail in separate hours. I am going to decline as I have no hope and feel it would be a waste of my time.

Great place to work. The CEO has vision
Senior Software Engineer • Current Employee
Los Gatos, California, United States
November 18, 2019
Pros: Pays well. The CEO thinks of the long-term goals, yet still looks at the everyday use cases and functionality. Free food, backdoor 401k.
Cons: Busy (but for the pay you expect it), no 401k match, expensive insurance.

One of the best companies I've worked for
Senior Software Engineer • Current Employee
Saratoga, California, United States
November 14, 2014
Pros: Plenty of opportunity for career growth.
You will likely be temporarily pulled into other work areas from time to time, due to understaffing (the company just can't hire qualified people fast enough to keep up with growth).
There's a lot of "work family" attitude. Even during engineering-wide "pushes", you're likely to hear laughter during meetings. People are very driven and professional.
Cons: There will be occasional periods of high stress (not as much as most other companies, however, but some people may still have difficulty dealing with it).
There can be a lot of noise due to hallway conversations, not necessarily work-related (I'd rather work in the silence of my home, but I'm somewhat of an introvert, anyway).
Only a few people have the luxury of working from home.
