Process
Had an initial recruiter call, very friendly.
Then had a life story interview, a very friendly, casual conversation as well, speaking about past work experiences and how it led to where I am.
Was scheduled for a 75-minute coding round, but I dropped since I landed another offer.

Good Pay, Billionaire Folly
Sr. Software Engineer • Current Employee
June 5, 2023
Pros: - When you are working on something that is in vogue in the current climate, it is a great place to work.
- Good benefits.
- Good pay.
Cons: The CEO and SLT have no real direction on what they want the product to be.
They get caught up in tech fads and pander to that for a while. First it was crypto, then AI.
There is no adhesion or grand vision, and it seems to be just an example of billionaires' folly.
