I've had some crazy and cool experiences in my previous jobs, but nothing like I've had here. It is pretty amazing when I stop to think about how far we've come, and where we are going next. We're really good at what we do, we have really passionate customers who are often on the cusp of doing something remarkable, and we're starting to show real traction with some exciting new developments.
Having super smart co-workers and mentors has been truly invaluable to my professional development. Smart people; incredibly accomplished mentors and colleagues; and opportunity for rapid growth. It's a winning combination that has allowed me to grow a ton even in a short period of time.
I like that I get to work on projects that have huge potential impact, and are really fun. There are just so many problems to solve and challenges to overcome. We're not only working on a great problem, but also on great solutions to that problem. I also really love the culture here — people here care a lot about the company and the team and are always working hard to make it better.
All of the above, and it seems like we're onto something really big here.

The recruiter was nice and candid about the poor work-life balance. My interviewer wasn't paying attention and was obviously doing something else on the side, so the interview experience was poor.
It was a pretty basic process with a systems design and a practical involving both algorithm and frontend. There were some difficulties figuring out what the interviewers were asking for. They seemed pretty busy, with interviewers looking somewhat di
