Process
This company's interview process is garbage. They only hire from MIT, Stanford, or Ivy League schools. They just keep interviewing people to pretend as if their interview process is competitive. Do not take this company's process seriously!

Amazing impact and exec team. Solid engineering team
Software Engineer • Current Employee
London, England, United Kingdom

Pros: Company has a strong positive impact on the real world. The executive team is very experienced, mature, and really (really) smart. There's a strong engineering culture around documentation and onboarding. They use great languages and patterns. Company values are sensible and feel like the right values.
Cons: Some poor (sometimes very poor indeed) code quality in places.
The tax on the share compensation scheme is very bad in the UK.
