Process
Applied online with the coding challenge. A week later, I was contacted by a recruiter to schedule for a Life Story video interview. A couple of days later, I was contacted again that I made it to the final round. The final round was with two devs. We talked about my personal project and the coding challenge I did when applying for the job.
The interviews for both rounds were extremely friendly and helpful.

Great place for learning!
Backend Developer • Current Employee

Pros: Weekly 1-on-1s with assigned mentor.
Bi-weekly 1-on-1s with your lead.
They really want to make sure that you are on the right track.
There's always a steady amount of work to do, and you can see your impact right away after your code gets approved and merged.
Cons: Although there is a good amount of work, not all of it is "cutting edge or problems with astounding impact." There is a fair bit of maintenance tasks, bug fixing, and user support issues as well.

Pros: Culture, perks, people, default to openness, diversity, work/life balance.
Cons: Constant change – which for me hasn't been a problem, but for those who have any aversion to change, it would be a con.
