Process
I talked with a recruiter and set up a phone screen. I thought I did pretty well on the phone screen, but I never heard back.
It was an easy interview, but a bad process. At least send a rejection email if you are not interested in moving forward.

Hypergrowth is back
Software Engineer • Current Employee
January 5, 2021
Pros: - IPO in 2021, very likely to have 10x returns.
- Growth has resumed since Q3 and Q4.
- Management is listening to feedback and making changes.
- Engineering work is very interesting.
- Smart and helpful coworkers.
Cons: Layoffs had bad publicity. Management planned for the worst case with COVID, and that did not happen.
The timing of the last funding round was a mistake, as it happened when the market was down. If funding had been raised in Q4, the valuation would have increased to 10B+.
Recent attrition.
