Process
Met with a recruiter at a career fair in the fall.
Had an in-person interview that same day.
Completed a two-problem HackerRank test the following week.
Underwent two technical phone interviews in the subsequent weeks.
The entire process from application to offer was extremely streamlined and efficient (less than four weeks).
Questions
Some string formatting, OOP principles, software design patterns, SQL, and Java-specific questions.

Software Engineer (Internship) • Current Employee
San Francisco, California, United States
September 1, 2021
Pros: - Worked very closely with my team, delivering work directly applicable to the team on a very customer-facing product as an intern.
- Had lots of opportunity to hear from the CEO and executives.
- Received monthly Fridays off for wellness plus $100 monthly reimbursements for wellness activities.
- Good salary.
- Relaxed deadlines and no "grinding" or "tech bro" culture.
- Received lots of swag.
- Experienced lots of clarity about expectations and how to reach them.
- Received lots of support from recruiters and the intern team.
- Everyone is super nice, friendly, and open about feedback and helping you.
- Even though I failed to get an offer from one team, my recruiter passed my information to another team where I received an offer.
Cons: The smallest con: since I started in June, a lot of the intern events happened in the beginning and more in May. So, at around the halfway mark, there wasn't a lot of engagement from the intern team.
