Quality of Founding Team - Very experienced, not making silly mistakes, have set up a good culture.
Engineering talent - Founders and founding engineers are all great, experienced, and very good engineers. There's no shortage of people to get advice from and learn from. A lot of the rest of the engineering team is quite young, but super smart, hardworking, and humble.
Real - Clearly hit product-market fit and at a scaling stage. Risks are obviously still there, but risks are more around execution and the size the company will be, not a risk of it not being a company in 12 months.
Growing - Lots of opportunity for personal growth: leadership, different roles, lots of learning, new technology, etc.
Supportive Environment - The leadership is very explicit (and takes action on this) about supporting everyone in their career goals. Want to sit on a sales call? Want to try out product management? If you put your hand up and ask for an opportunity, you'll get it.
Product Leadership - I think the product management and leadership is still being worked out. However, the company is aware of this and explicitly hiring to fill key positions.
Office - Space is cramped right now, but we are moving, so it should be resolved.
The interview process involved: * 1 recruiter screen * 1 live coding screen (somewhat similar to LC snapshot array) * 5 rounds in the onsite, including: * 1 behavioral * 2 OS concurrency/mutual exclusion * 2 DSA The intervie
The interview process was very smooth. Recruiters were communicative, but you might have to push them a bit. In general, if you perform well, the manager will be after you.
Very much like any top engineering company – a good code test. I think it was clear they were looking for engineers that could deal with a lot of complexity and ambiguity.
